a new mini for me!

well, after a whirlwind 2 days, i've gone from having an '02 mc silk green/white to putting my order in TODAY for an 05 mc jet black/black!! so random...basically i was coming up on the end of my standard warranty and was going to have to get the extended...i talked my my motoring advisor, who suggested that i trade in. i told her if she could put me in a new one for about the same that i'm paying now i'd do it! and she did! so we ordered today!!

Mully, that's awesome! It's too bad silk green is no more; I always thought silk green with black roof was a great MINI color. So when will you have it?

Erin, that's great news!! I could see that happening...everytime I'm at the dealer I feel the tug. So are you adding/subtracting any options to your new MINI...things you've wished you had or didn't have?

Erin, congrats on the new MINI! So, you were able to order an 05? Or are you getting an 06?

it was a tough decision for me, since i loooooove my silk green. but i have been kind of worried about having problems with it into the future, since it is an '02 and not having a warranty and whatnot...so it was a good move for me. it should be here in 4-6 weeks.

the color decision was really hard. first i was thinking hyper blue, then silver...but i settled on all black. premium and cold weather packages, anthracite interior, leatherette, i pod hookup...nothing fancy, but i am really siked to have a new one again!! now for the name......
