new blood

I test drove an MCS last weekend and my wife thought we should trade in our minivan, which she wanted. Think I'll wait until January, put down my deposit then and still keep the short bus for transport the grandbabies,clientele, etc..

I just want something fun that won't kill me at the gas pump.

good choice, support you on your decision and I strongly recommend to do something before new year, because you are losing a lot not having a Mini.

Good Luck

Sounds like a good plan! Be sure to help us help you agonize over every detail (color, wheels, upholstery, stereo, fogs, sunroof, LSD, DSC...)

Yep, good choice...if you have to carry more than two people and the MINI is your only transportation...it can get a little dicey...besides, they probably won't give you squat on a trade-in.

Cheers

Welcome to NAM.

You are looking in the right place. I would place my order now and tell them what day to put it in so a bunch of people don't get ahead of you and then you have a long wait.
