New GP 2 Owner from Houston,TX

Havent gotten the car yet, it is going to get shipped to me from a legitimate dealership.


I been on the search for a GP 2 about 2 months. Finally settled on one from a Ohio Dealership.

This will be my first out of state purchase, as well as a vehicle i havent even seen in person. Done all my research, warranty work , carfax, pre buy inspection at a local MINI Dealer before i pulled the trigger.

So hopefully it wont be a can full of worms when it get to me in TX.

Would like to document my experience and process of this purchase for any legal purposes.

Anyways, this will not be my 1st Mini.

I have had a 2014 F56, about a year and half ago.
Excited to get back in the community with the GP!!

PS: Back on their release in 2013, I was still in school and no way on earth i could afford the sticker price of 40k, so hopefully this will my ticket for getting the GP.

GP #155 is here!!! Got delivered late yesterday, gave it a wash.

Couple of dents on hood and roof.... doesnt look like hail. So i guess maybe just rocks / road debris.
Which i was aware of about the dents before i purchased it, going to have them PDR out next wendesday!
