is it good to get a 2nd hand mini now?

I just sold my car a few days ago. Couldnt go around places like before now. Really wanna get a car now but i know that the 2007 cooper will come soon. Should I wait for the 2007s to come out? Do u fink the price of the 2nd hand drops immediately? How much do you fink they will drop?

I don't think the new models will make a huge difference in the price of used MINI's for a couple years.

i serously doubt you will see much change in price, maybe a drop
for the 02, 03 due to milage and wear, but probably not the 04-06.

I picked up an '03 BRG MCS with Sport, Premium, and Cold Weather packages for 18k. It had 10,000 miles. I spent 3 years looking for a deal and I think my patience paid off. Now beginning the search for mods.

I "fink" you should wait for the 07's to come out, then get an 05 or an 06.
