I'm so anxious to buy my first MINI, but so tired of searching eBay, cars.com, autotrader, etc. I'm hoping that someone out there might be interested in a R56 and needing to sell their R53. I know it's a long shot, but here's what I'm after:

• 2005 or 2006 R53
• Must be an 'S'
• Must be a manual - no automatics
• Dark Silver or Pure Silver
• I would prefer the Premium Package, Sport Package, and Cold Weather Package - but I am flexible with these
• I really do not like the Chrono Package, but if everything else is right then maybe
• Milage should be 'realistic' for an 05 - 06

Visually, this would be my ideal:



..again, I know it's a long shot, but I thought I would throw this out to everyone.

Thanks,
Mark
