Hello everyone!

I am likely a future MINI owner. While I've never ownedone yet I've always loved them. I've owned a lot of different cars from a builtEvo IX, FD3S (RX-7), a 1st gen DSM, two different trucks and my current ride, a2011 WRX hatch with 340whp. I think it's time to change things up and with myimpending PCS (military move) to Hawaii it seems like a 300+ hp awd car is abit overkill for the island. So I'm going to take my chance to find a nice MINIfinally. I'll be looking specifically at 2007-2013 Cooper S hatches. I have acouple specific options I would like, leather, moon roof and the factory JCWkit would be a bonus. Picking tend to be slim but I check every week and I'mnot in a real rush to purchase. Feel free to point out anything I should be wary of or if anyone wants to, link me to a somewhere that I can read more about the differences and specifics of each year.

I'm very excited to join the MINI family! Until I get my own I will continue to prowl the forums and read about everyone else's cars.Thanks for reading and Let's Motor!

 

Good Luck in your search! JCW Coupes are hard to come by, especially if you are looking for a certain color combination. We flew from NJ to Chicago to get ours. You will love driving it!!

 

Welcome to NAM, DocCola and best of luck to you on your search for the perfect JCW Coupe. They only suggestion I would have for you is not to let your laundry list of wants stop you from picking up a great JCW. Keep us posted to your progress.
