Waiting for our New 06 MCS

Ordered a new 06 MCS for the wife about 3 wks ago. This will be her toy, I have a 03 Corvette Z06 as my toy. Just received a notice that the mini has been built and is awaiting transport to the US. First car I have bought and paid list MSRP for it. Around the southeast I couldn't find any dealer that would come off the list price for a new one. She got a pure silver with black top and mirrors, english leather w/piping, etc. After all was done, this little toy cost me $29,200 Look forward to reading about the mini on the forum. The corvette forum's sure helped me spend about $30,000 extra on my Z06 for upgrades:impatient I guess its a sickness

haha! welcome to the group... You'll find that it is EXTREMELY rare to pay below MSRP on a MINI. on the upside, the MINI will be worth a higher percentage of it's initial value in 5 years than your corvette.

as to the sickness... well... good luck avoiding it

like my dad says... speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go?

Welcome! Great to have another Alabama MINI here!

Check out the BAMA (Birmingham Area MINI Association) here in the regional forums and we hope you'll come out for one of our events.

Atlanta also has a great group and you are about as close to them as you are to us.
