Would love some feedback on this used MINI!

Hello motorists! I havent visited this site in ages, but it looks like my time to finally get a Mini is approaching! Anywho i am going to paste the information on this car for feedback and suggestions on a few specific matters. Here are the specs:

Model 1011* Cooper S USD 22,300.00**** Color 871** Dark Silver metallic paint 500.00**** Upholstery K8E1* Grey/Carbon Black Leatherette N/C**** Options 1CA**** CO2 relevant vehicles N/C****** 2RG**** 16" alloy wheels, bridge spoke N/C****** 2RV**** Alloy wheels in black N/C****** 381**** Roof in body color N/C****** 6ND**** Bluetooth and USB/iPod adapter 500.00*************** Net Total 23,300.00*************** Destination Charge 700.00***************

Total Suggested Price 24,000.00*

TRUE PRICE:$21,991 PLUS TAG TAX AND FEES

2010 MCS with 2150 or so miles on it. Manual, pretty much stock except for bluetooth and ipod connector. 21991 plus tax tags and fees.

Do you guys feel like this is a fair deal? What should I ask for out the door? I really wanted the HK sound and Xenons but could live without those if adding better sound later isnt too difficult or ridiculously expensive. I plan on trading in my 210 mazda 3i touring. I just want something smaller and more fun / sporty.

Thanks for any and all feedback!

Any price off the MSRP is a good deal on a MINI. If after you drive you and you like it, buy it. You will love all the fun you will have. The only problem is your face will hurt from smiling all the time when driving it.

Price seems OK...not great, but not horrible. I'd certainly push it down to $20k. And if it isn't the exact car you want anyway, since it has few options and is missing the ones you really wanted, walk away. My MCS has the base stereo, and quite frankly it's more capable than I'll ever need.

Well well....now I just found this:

http://mercedesbenzofdelray.net/-Del...k-Car/9544210/

22995. Has EVERY option I want. 2011 with only 5k miles. It's 187 miles away though, and I really would like that to go down a grand or two in price...or if i could get a bit more out of my trade in. I might have to make a 3 hour drive on Thursday if it's still available.

Oh and for the record, those stripes are actually alternating red and white if you look at the close up. I thought they were PINK pinstripes for a second...which was a bit of a turn off...red and white look sharp though.

@tmelsh You might want to look at my 2007 Mini Cooper S also that I'm selling in Rochester NY. It has 91K miles which might be more that what you are looking for but I'm asking for $13,400 so it's much cheaper. I'm the only owner and I've kept the car very well. It's got cold weather package, premiums sound, leatherette, new tires. It looks, feels and drives like new. You can view details at http://sites.google.com/site/2007cooperforsale/
