Hey guys, a brand new Mini owner here!!! I owned 2 Mini's in the early 00's (Chili Red Cooper and Indy Blue Cooper S), but then kids came along and had to get something more practical.

Last night I signed the paperwork on my new 2012 Countryman S Light White w/ Black Roof/Wheels. I'm selling the Camry to CarMax this morning and then picking up the Countryman this afternoon!!!

Specs: 2012 Countryman S - Light White, Black Roof, Black Wheels, Manual, Sunroof, Leatherette, Bench rear seat (practical w/ booster/car seats), Bluetooth/iPod, Cold Weather Package

I will post pics later when I pick it up.

Next steps are tinting and offset drivers bonnet stripe!

Time to get motoring!!!

 

congrats, sounds like a great ride.

 

Curious as to the difference your Mini dealer offered for a trade-in versus what CarMax gave you? Congrats on getting back into a Mini.

 

Carmax gave me almost $5k more What does a Mini/BMW dealer want to do with a Toyota?!?!?!?! When I bought my first Cooper in '03, I tried to trade in my Durango and gave me the same runaround. Went to Carmax and it was almost identical to what I just lucked out on...
