Hi All... After much searching I finally found a used Mini to fit my budget. While it's not exactly what I wanted in terms of color and options but it does have the JCW package installed which I never thought I would be able to afford. Here are the specs if you care:

2004 MCS w/ 35000 miles, British Green white top/mirrors/stripes, one owner, $20,100+tax&tags
Sport Package
Winter Package
JCW package
Xenon, two tone leather(blk/tan), NAV, HC audio w/Ipod, Mini fog lights

I had my heart set on RED with sunroof but I didn't want to wait any longer and the deal seemed too good to pass up. It does need two new tires on the front so I will be scouring the boards for recommendations

I live in Hunterdon County, NJ so if there are any other Mini people around maybe I'll see you at the Red Mill next month for British Car Day. Now that I introduced myself I will start asking all those annoying NEWBIE questions that ultimately have answers to if I just searched properly!

BRG with white top is a very classic looking MINI! Congratulations!

 

Welcome to the MINI world... I have found it very welcoming and f*wking awesome. I ain't that close to ya, unless you count Canada as close. I still ask some NEWBIE questions... we were all NEWBIE's once, so don't be ashamed.

Wow, sounds like you got a pretty nice deal. I just bought my loaded 03' MCS for $17k with 50k miles on it. Not bad at all!

And of course, WELCOME!
