A Question for the Members - Help me choose

Hello NAM members.

I believe I have found the Mini S I want to purchase; well I have 2 choices.

I need your help. Which color do you like better. Both are 2006 Models.

Both Mini S's are equiped the same; around 20 K Miles and Priced the same.

# 1. Silver w/ Black Roof

# 2. Dark Silver w/ Black Roof

Please let me know which color, and why you selected it.

Thanks ! ! !

I'd go with dark Silver, regular silver is played out too much, especially in the last decade.

Maybe I've got a bias, but Dark Silver with a Black top (that's what my car is)... but you should get the color YOU want the most.

I'm impartial to either; not really a silver guy. If I had to pick, it would be the darker of the two colours.

That said, I'd pick the one in better condition; I'm sure one of them has fewer door dings, rock chips, scratches or other battle scars than the other. Pick the cleaner of the two!

Good luck
Asif

Both are nice colors.
Personel preference is the dark (which you should give zero weight to in your decision.)

Dark silver fo' sho'! If you don't like it I hear Maaco does paint jobs for like $200 . Plus if you get the silver, you know what Dr. Freud would say....
