Good choice, welcome to NAM. I imagine the MINI is a little different from the 87 toyota pickup.

Upload some pictures when you get the chance and enjoy the drives.

And welcome again to MINI ownership.

what did you end up paying for it (or, well, if a client - how much worth of your work in trade)?

i just got mine, also 03, with 32k miles, not quite loaded - just the sunroof and sports package - and paid 16.7 for it... seemed like a decent deal to me.. curious about yours, because your miles are even lower.

And yes, welcome :wave:
