The wait is over! Just got my 1st MCS!!

Hi all!! I am so happy its really surreal. I cant believe I finally got my MCS. I have wanted one since their release and now we are finally able to afford it. Its electric blue metallic with sport/prem/leather heated seats (nice and warm!) park dist cntrl & HK sound. I got her used but I think I got a good deal, because I have been pricing them the past two months. Im in nor-cal and I paid just under $20k All day we looked at dealerships and even went to mini and my husband tried to get me to settle for a PW MC that was $17k, I couldnt do it. Im so glad I didnt!! Plus the best part is the miles are still low at only 32,7xx. I mean I guess low miles on a mini isnt really a good thing LOL, but they wont be low for too long! Anyhow I couldnt wait to tell the world and show a picture. The first upgrades Im doing are white bonnets and driving lamps. Well I look foward to chatting with some of you soon!

Ciao!

I know exactly how you feel....I've wanted one for so long and could finally afford to buy a used one. I got mine 2 weeks ago. Isn't it so much fun to drive?!!! My mini gets her bonnet stripes next Friday..can't wait. Minis are the cutest cars on the road!! I am in love and I know you are too...your mini is as cute as mine!!! Happy driving!!

Congrats...

Similar story BUT...

I did buy a PW MC 03 w/ 24000 mi (got a great deal so I figured I would get my $$ out if I did not like it...) Well 3 months later...I GOT MY MONEY OUT (and I loved the car!) BUT I LOVE MY 04 MCS BETTER W/ 19000 MILES!

You were smart getting the S the 1st time around! NOT knocking the MC by any means but I still like my 04 PW S which is loaded to the gills! Having forgotten what a supercharger sounded like and felt like...it was like a time warp!

DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE.....

I LOVE my used mini

She is a 2004, MCS, 32,000 miles. I know the mileage is high but it was hard to find a used mini with low mileage that I could afford in Colorado. And I love her so nothing else matters!!!

I know the feeling, I had looked at 7 others before my e/blue '03 MCS smiled at me on the show room floor. I don't know about the bonnet stripes, I kind of like mine with out them. I have had mine a little over a month and I LOVE IT, my daughter won't ride in anything else to school... they are addictive.

What a great Mini! Welcome to NAM!

You've been lusting even longer than me! I drove a co-worker's Mini last summer and have been hooked every since...finally took the plunge a month ago and ordered one...yet still waiting :impatient
