Hey guys... was into domestics before, 2 mustang GT's, 1 Trans am, etc.. but now arent really into them. Im unfortunately driving a new 4x4 now but am thinking of trading it in on a new mini. Anyone on here around 20 (just curious) if any of you could do it again, would you or would you reconsider? Just wondering.. Any info you could give? Thanks ya'll

-Graeme

How easy/simple is qualifying for mini financial? I know most places dont like me being 20 and financing etc.. so its usually been a pain in the *** for me to try and get qualified

I have considered that option. for the time being, i will stick with school. one more year for my triple diploma... then I will look into a job, and a Mini.

I would get a mini sooner, but since realizing that I would like to live and work in Paris after graduating, I cant be tied down with a car. importing it is too much of a hassle. so i will wait until im comfotably installed in a location with a job.

all in good time...

Patrick

It's not so much about your age, but since you experienced high performance
cars already and got that 'nack for power' out of your system, I think you will be
impressed with the MCS's refinement in total balance. :smile:

then again, if you want more power, you can always mod it too.

I don't have a mini, but I intend to buy one as well to compliment my current car. I'm 22 and have had 7 cars already including my current S2000 and previously '04 STi, '02 WRX, '00 Trans-am WS6 ect... I think that you will enjoy the mini as much as I think I will. I can say from having my trans-am that owning car it much more then just huge amounts of speed and power; it's about the package ( speed/power/handling/fit and finish/comfort ) and the overall fun. I believe the mini fits perfectly in that slot.
