Hey everyone! Got back from the purchase of my first Mini - an 06 MCS manual with Premium, Cold Weather & Sports Packages. It has 24k miles on it, but looks like brand new. Very exciting!

I got it at a Cadillac/GM dealer who I'm almost certain didn't know what they had since it was priced so well. Here it is in all its splendor!

 

Welcome aboard - Welcome to NAM - Welcome to the world of MINIs..

grey: Congrats on your purchase! Your car looks awesome. Name it yet? Any luck haggling/bartering the price since you said the reps weren't much knowledgeable with MINI's?



HAHAHA! Is there a higher quality version of this image, Jahmills? This is excellent wallpaper material.

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new ride. You have excellent taste in color selection.

 

Looks sharp .
So I take it that you will show it off at this years MOTD .

 

Thanks everyone! I'm very, very excited. Had trouble sleeping last night and made a run to the post office & bank this morning "just 'cause."

Quigdom : I actually did name the car - Emma (as in Emma Peel from the Avengers in the 60's - she kicked ***, looked good and was a fashionista - just like the Mini!) I also did have good luck driving the price down - at least I thought so, considering it was already $3k under what others with the same options were going for. I also got a good trade in for my last car (Subaru Forester XT).

Jahmills : Awesome.

Silverbullit : You too! My last name is Grey so I would be remiss if I didn't get the Dark Silver!

Cabriopilot : Perhaps... I don't know that much about that event - I just started coming here about a week and a half ago. Saw a few photos and looks pretty cool!
