Might buy a 2009 cooper s tomorrow, need input!! PLZ!!

It's a dark metallic silver, manual, turbo, 35k mi.. For $18.5k. Also it has the British theme goin on (not too fond of the flag pattern on side mirrors but i can change those or let em grow on me)

Please any input onto why i shouldn't get this one is appreciated!!!

Make sure you've dug into the issues of 2nd gens. Ask a Mini specialist to check it out for you. There are recall items as documented here:

Hope you finally find the MINI you really want!

You'll want to get a lot more info. Options? Service history? Warranty? Timing chain tensioner fixed?

Congrats on the purchase. I'm sure you will love the car!

Too bad I saw your post too late cuz I'm selling my 2007 Mini Cooper S for $13,400 and it's an awesome car. Details at http://sites.google.com/site/2007cooperforsale/ in case anyone is interested.

Good looking car with nice wheels and great price considering all the options on it. I see you have the Xeon head lights too.

Have fun with your new friend.

Thanks @Dozuki01. Actually I don't have Xenons. These are standard lights. I didn't bother getting Xenons, cuz if I'm driving the car, I'll never get to see them lit
