Well, I think I'm gonna do it...
 
Cool, so I've been looking at Minis for months now:eek: !!!
I located one with everything that I want as far as options go :cool: .
MCS, Dark silver, Lapis Blue leather, all the packages, less than 20K miles for $18,500 and it's a one owner car... Sweeeeet...
I'm flying down to San Fran from Portland in the AM tomorrow to pick up this baby!!! (I'm just hoping no one will snatch it up some howbefore I get there:impatient )

Oups, I forgot, it's an '04

Wow, I paid a lot more for my 2004 with more mileage and don't have leather seats. Did I pay too much? I bought from a respectable dealer in Denver and they don't negotiate. I thought I got a fair price at the time but am now wondering???

If you're happy with the car, and during the process you felt the y treated you fairly don't dwell in it, just enjoy the ride. Also Dealers can charge more than individuals froma selection/service/reputation standpoint.

:grin: Good luck, dinandriver! Sounds like a great deal...give us an update as soon as you take delivery! :nod::cool::thumbsup:

Well, the thing is... I spend 100's of houres looking for a good deal:impatient ... Like Motor On said, don't worry about it if you like the car then that's all that matters:thumbsup:
A buddy of mine just bouth a '02 MCS with 47K miles for $22,000 and he said he felt like he got a good deal...

It really seems like Mini Coopers are in a league of their own as far as resale...

Will do!!! It might be a few days. After I pick it up in SF, I'm heading down to LA to go show it off to my friends!!!:cool: :grin:

Gee, I was obsessing on the REALLY good deal you got (that I didn't get!!) and forgot to say Congrats!!! Show us pics when you have them!

Eric_Rowland Aug 29, 2006 12:05 AM

Congrats! If you come through Santa Cruz feel free to drop me a line!
Sounds like a great deal. Mine was similar, but add Nav for $21K about 18 months ago - guess I know the depreciation figure now! :) And I had to (got to) drive back from VA.
