Help Please!! Buying a JCW new or used?

Hello everyone, i currently have a sentra ser spec v 08 but I have to admit that i have fallen in love with the JCW. Im looking to buy one now. However I have a couple of questions. First, I am 6'3 185 pounds, would i fit fine in the cooper(i had a focus zx3 before so i should be ok, but just curious)? and also is it worth to buy a bright new one, im looking to buy red just like it is in the web page, with no upgrades, ill add the aerokit and other stuff little by litte, so my car built from scratch is $32k, or should a go for a used one? What are the financing deals you guys have received on these cars? Can you tell me how much you guys pay a month, is it better to get a loan, or to buy it or to go with the mini select program? Thanks for your help guys!

You will fit no problem. I am 6'2" and close to 300 pounds.

As for the rest of your questions...seriously those are questions only you can answer. I never buy used cars and I always lease. Except for the JCW I bought it on a MINI Select. MINi Select seemed like a deal at the time. Not so much now though

As for the JCW Aero kit, you are better off getting it with the car and having the VDC install it for you. That way its included in your monthly payment. Otherwise its gonna cost you at least $2000 to have it installed.

I am considering buying a MCS (new or used) and would be very interested to hear what you think about the MINI Select program. I spoke briefly to the dealer about it but I don't know much about it.

Thanks,
Jim
