Hey all, I am interested in purchasing a Mini Cooper in the near future. Looking into an "S" model, possibly even a convertible. Just gonna check out the forums and mentally download as much information as I can to better inform me on my decision. Any help and/or advice is welcome!

 

Good luck with your decision making, lots of choices out there, make a list of the things you want then hit ads. New, used, generation, body style, color, options, etc. etc. makes me dizzy to think of all those things, have fun.

 

Have fun with your search, so many things to consider it can be mind blowing. Hope to hear something good.

 

Your lucky to be in Miami. Go to Braman MINI and you'll start drooling. Seriously they're great. Ask to speak to Ryan Mullings (305-571-1225, ext 2218), he's not in sales, he's a Service Consultant, that really knows MINIs, and seems to take pleasure in helping customers. I'm sure he will treat you right and arrange a test drive for you. Stay away from the Bugatti's, they're a tad pricey. If you speak to Ryan, please pass on an hello from Steve from CT. My 2007 MCS was originally purchased from Braman.

 

I drive past Brahman often in downtown, nice place though up to this point I've only seen it from the outside. I'm a little curious about reliability of these cars. I've driven my friends one a couple times. I think it's a 2007, automatic with tiptronic. I love the feel and the gas mileage. It's such a fun car. I want to know more about reliability and repair issues since it will not be a weekend car.

Also, about Brahman, do they have used mini's as well or just new?

 

Continue with your research, MINI's are definetly not a one sieze fits all vehicle. Personally I've only met one person who regretted buying one, and truly love mine. Braman sells new, preowned, and MINI-NEXT models. They're huge. When I was there in November 09, I declined a loaner while they worked on my little guy, just to get a tour of their facilities and talk to Ryan to learn more about MINI's.
