I found a great deal on a used 2011 Mini Countryman S. Sports Package - Technology package, 3k miles.
I bought the darn thing over the phone yesterday and I wait (im)patiently for its delivery today (coming from 200 miles away).

I'll post a pic once I get it.

I'll be perfectly honest, I haven't been this excited since I went to NOLA a couple years ago. I hope I remember more about today than I do about that trip to NOLA.

So.. Hello all!

Edit : I got the car, already went through a tank on gas (300+ Miles) in 2 days. I. LOVE. IT! Here are some Pics.

 

Welcome. There's one rule on NAM...pictures are required!

 

It's a 4 hr drive to my home from the dealer. Guy supposed to head my way in 1 hour. I don't know what to do with my time!!?? I'm so excited

Did I mentioned I haven't even seen the car in person yet. I can only go off the pics. I was assured its clean and dent/ding free. I have like 22 pics on the dealer page.

 

This is a Dealer Pic.

Update 9:30AM
Can't eat, video games are boring me, TV seems an annoyance more than anything. 3.5 hours until this pretty is in my garage.

 

You gave up some of the best memories you will have. :(

Welcome to the loyal family of Mini owners!

 

welcome.

 

Ok so within 48 hours I had gone through a full tank of gas, taken it to the local MINI dealer and got it all checked out (oil change, brake fluid flush, wiper blades, general inspection and they even washed my car). The dealership is GREAT. The sales lady was so cool. I had been pricing a new model but found this used as it was a great deal I couldn't pass up at another non mini dealership. She said "it happens, I'm just glad you found your MINI." she chatted with me for an hour while it was being serviced. Then took off out of town (approx 2 hour drive 1 way). My other half asked if they could drive it back the next morning....I didn't want to and said as much. I felt guilty though and caved (didn't want to look selfish). Then once we got home I was just looking for somewhere to drive it to. At work sometimes I flip through my pics on my phone of the car. Unfortunately whenever I look at it I see dollar signs and all the things I want to do to tweak/do to it to truly make it my custom MINI.
I'll be honest though, I've thrown a wave to other MINI owners but have yet to receive one back.

 

Great story. Good luck
