Finally found a Mini!!

Hello!!....After spending quite a while looking for something a little different I finally found what I was looking for. In the process of getting a 2011 Mini S in White Silver Metalic exterior and Polar Beige Gravity Leather interior with 23,000 mi. This will be my first Mini and looking forward to it's arrival!

Thanks! Don't have any upgrades planned so far. I'm going from a Land Rover to a Mini and haven't owned a hatchback since I bought a 16v Gti new back in 87....This should be fun!

Your Mini shows it was really well cared for. If it's mechanically sound, which it should be with only has 24k miles on it, then you made a super deal on it!

Have to very jealously mention that it's awfully green where ever you are! Our poor yard is still covered with about a foot or more of snow. It's melting, but way too slowly. Definitely the latest we've had snow on the ground in April in quite a few years.

That green grass looks pretty darned good. Or maybe it's the Mini that makes everything look good!

No mechanical problems, no previous paint or body damage. A one owner car that was very well taken care of. Really felt it was a good price......We have had lots of rain then some warm weather so the grass has really taken off!
