new to mini

today i made it official . i am a new owner of a mcs 2011 horizon blue/black top w/ moonroof, manual, prem package, chrome, piano black and runflats.
i went to the dealership today and can't believe i got the .9% financing for 60 months. i bought the extended warranty 6yrs/100miles, run flats warranty and lo jack. i'm having doubts about the warranties, but at the time of signing i felt it will give me a piece of mind. now i wished i got the alarm with it. oh well i guess i can always get the alarm later.
i will post pics as soon as i can figure how to..lol sorry not too computer savy.

You will love it!

Congratulations! Welcome to a unique corner of automotive enjoyment, a great one at that.
Many of us plan to keep our Minis for ten years plus, so I wish I had a bit more warranty. I'm just now at 36 k and three years coming in a week or so.
I like/love the car more every day, and we have a fairly active Mini owners club here in town now. It's fun to see a bunch of Minis parked together, and the drivers are always neat people.
Good move getting your Horizon Blue!

Nice ride soon2fun. My MCS is nine years old this month and still runs like new. Actually, better than new --it's modded . BTW: Old MINIs don't fade away, they just "retire" as track cars .

Welcome

You will soon find out that a crowd gathers to ask questions and to stand in AWE of your Mini. Weather it is 1 year old or 10 years old. I am sure you will have times when you will hate your car but remember that all cars break down but not all are a MINI. Enjoy yours.

@toxictv-when i bought my mini alls i wanted was manual..lol. i was especially excited that i got a great financing rate. everything else was a plus. at first i was ok with getting a mini cooper and i think would have been happy. but boy how fast this little mcs is...whew! not use to the speed
