New MINI Owner
New MINI Owner
Well sort of. I bought my 2009 MCSa DS/B back in September and have loved it.
The wife loved it so much she wanted to get rid of her car as she didn't really like it or want it. We toyed with the idea of getting a used MINI and she saw this one online at our local dealership (3 miles from the house). It will be a "transition car" so we can save the miles on mine (I drive about 25-30k miles a year) and get into a cheaper payment, insurance, and fuel consumption and downsizing without giving up any fun. So we bought a 2002 MC (R50), Chilli Red with White roof, mirrors, and wheels. It is not something I would have picked out myself but it just looks so darn cute it grows on you. With only 38.8k miles on it it has plenty of life left in it and a great car for us to learn to drive a stick on. We left the dealership last night around 7:20pm and didn't get home until about 11:15 just driving. Since I rack up the miles I will be driving the R50 for a while but we will occasionally swap. I think we might keep the VROOM!, it seems fun, it does have some aftermarket air filter on it and a Borla cat-back exhaust too.
Without further ado here are the photos from the dealer's website.

I understand how your wife felt about having a MINI!

Great looking ride, looks clean and low miles too. Congratulations on the new addition to the stable! Once you go stick you'll never go back!
