Hi every one!

I'm new to the "world 'O mini" but I absoutly love the cars I recently wrecked my 2003 VW beetle turbo S and I'm in the process of buying a new car. I found a mini that I really like but I'm not sure about it... any kind of advice you guys could give me? from what I've already seen on the carfax theres been only 1 owner of this particular car and all the matinance work was done by the dealership.. is it worth it?

car is listed here > http://www.checkeredflag.com/used-in...3e39407a911b51

any help/advice would be much appreciated,

Josh

That's the year and model you want. Carfax it, test drive it, and smell the vapors as the memory of your Beetle disappears from your mind. You'll love it.

Good luck with your choice. Bought mine in January and never had more fun driving on four wheels!

I love that color! If they still offered royal gray I'd be all over it...

Yeah if you like it get it, might want to have the clutch checked out before you finalize the deal. Clutches are one of the things that do give trouble on some older MINIs.

Hope you are getting a better deal than what is posted as the price. Hey, I always wondered how those turbo beetles were to drive???? Can you tell us a little bit about your prior ride?
