my name is Scott. I am new to the mini world and have actually not gotten mine yet, but i plan to purchase a mini cooper s by september or october. i am a transferee from the honda world. i just kinda got bored with that scene and naturally being of german descent the euro scene was my next move. i have always loved mini coppers and when i went to test drive one i fell in love with the car. i test drove a new civic si, acura rsx type s, and a bmw 330 ci and of all the cars the mini just felt the most fun and poised. there was nothing sloppy about the car and even in stock form it had a smile on my face the entire testdrive. cant wait to join your world and begin modifying my mini.

 

Welcome to one of the world's greatest obsessions! Are you going to order your MINI? If you do, start in the the next month, and by Sept or Oct it should be in your garage!

Have fun.

 

no i cant afford to buy new, so im looking for a used one for under 20k which isnt that hard.

 

Post here on NAM when you're ready to buy . . . Different people sell for different reasons, and you might hook up with someone in your area!

 

i just need to get my honda civic sold first so i can have enough for a down payment. hopefully i can get one for around 20k with a 5000 dollar down payment.
