Dad wants a mini...after finding one for the daughter

Hello,

My affliction to purchase a Mini started with my college age daughter who moved up from an 1995 Honda Del Sol to a 2006 base Mini since she needed rear seats for her summer "nanny" job. However, living in Wisconsin in the first snow/ice storm she luckily was not injured but crunched the Mini to the point it couldn't be repaired.

So I went out shopping to help her find a new/used one. Test drove several and the local mini dealer had a 2010 - put snow tires on it immediately and she was back to school and she weathered the rest of the Wisconsin winter.

So know I started searching...I have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has over 148K on it and perhaps is good for one more winter.

So my interest is in clubman S model or perhaps a countryman since I still want to take it to a few fishing spots that are essentially rutted fire roads so I want a bit of clearance and room to carry a bike on a hitch.

Looking forward to searching the forums.

Bob

Great! Good searching��. After dropping my MINI at my mother in laws for a couple days, they ended up searching, and getting one the next week!
