Hey all, my name's Matt and I'm planning on buying my first mini in the next year. I decided that since I got my first job, college loans aren't as bad, and I'm buying a house (effectively lowering my home costs) that I'd like to buy a fun car as a daily driver. I've already got a fun summer car (1983 Olds Delta 88, .030 over Olds 425, 3:42 rear gears; 13.25 in the 1/4), and am now looking to get that feeling throughout the year. Anyway, I'm just here to learn - see what's hot and what's not about minis. I'm planning on a 2008 S with chili red paint, cold weather and sport packages, and black hood stripes to offset the black roof.

I'm also looking at pricing, since this will be my first new car, and I really don't want to get reamed by the only dealer in the state...

 

Welcome to the club! Start building the madness online at MINIUSA.com to get ready to order yours. Make sure your dealer doesnt mark up over MSRP and your good to go! There are no rebates (unless your in Canada) at this time and the price is what it is! Good luck and keep us posted!
