New to MINIs... just bought an S!

Hello,
Hey guys i just wanted to introduce my self and say im new to mini's.I just purchased a 02 Copper S from the original Owner.I got the car with 19k miles on it.The car has always been garaged and was owned from two older adults in there 60's.The car is litterally like brand new and no scratch's/dents/mods.I got the car for $18k.Which i thought was a steal for the condition with only 19k miles.Anyways i was just wondering what to expect from my car?I have heard good things so far...as far as reliability is concerned.I dont think im gonna go mod crazy with it.Maybe the normal bolt on's...Pulley/Exhaust/Intake...Let me know what you guys think.Thank You

Welcome! Congrats, and yes, you got a very good deal. I paid $15K for mine with 45K on it. Spend some time here on NAM reading and exploring. A couple of my favorite initial threads was Things you Didnt know about your MINI, The mad modders club and generally exploring the Stock Problems/Issues thread. Cheers.

Grats! paid 13.9k for mine with 90k miles, but it's got a bunch of packages on it. I love the S, i'm sure you will to. Good luck with your car and welcome to the forums!
