Ermahgurd! A NEW GUY!!!

Hey everybody!

I haven't yet purchased a Mini but I plan to purchase one within the next few weeks... I just haven't found just the right one yet. I'm looking for a first gen (post face lift) Cooper S. I already what I want, it's just a matter of finding one without too many miles, in the right color, and of course a manual. If I had a nickle for getting 2 out of 3 in my search I could by a JCW.

I'm not exactly new to forums, I've been on Mazda3Revolution for quite a while, so I know the rules of SEARCH before posting any questions.

Anywayz... My name is Jay, I'm an SEO Manager in Portland, OR. I really look forward to getting to know you guys a bit more and becoming part of the mini community.

When I bought my current car I was actually going to look at a Cooper S but when I got to the dealer they had sold the one I came to see the day prior and instead got me into a speed3. It's ok, but just not the go kart that I wanted. So I plan on trading it in in the next couple weeks once I find the right mini. If you guys have any tips or anything (like what to look for) I would really appreciate it.

Thanks guys!
Jay

Thanks everybody! So I just couldn't find the right gen 1 MCS so I decided to take a trip to the dealer just to see if they had anything that wasn't listed on craigslist or their website and I was in luck... They had this 2013 MCS in spice orange and I just fell in love when I saw it... I knew this was gonna be the one. Say hello to "Pumpkin."
