quote from Apple's blog on Oct.5th 2008 (5 days ago)...

"I am finding out how much I really love Apple, she is a great car and I am not even thing of looking for car #63 for a long time."

If i didnt find this deal she would still be here, truth be told, for a few years I have been been looking for a white 3 , no wood and navi, I did not want to order one, i happen to be looking for a MINI at fields and this poped up, called them asked them about the trade in the gave me a firm 22K, I also got another 2K off the price, it was a good deal and have 3 years, and 50K of CPO...

I will miss her.... but as I always say life is too, short to commit to one car

You forgot Ferrari, Spyker, Lotus, and Rolls-Royce.

Good luck with the 3 cybergypsy. It looks great and I am sure you will be happy with the iDrive. Before my mother got her Arnage, she drove a very beautiful 750Li that had 2 iDrives (one for the front, one for the back). I think it is a great system, but thats just me.

Geebus, I can only think of all the sales tax that I'd lose by "flipping" cars like that out here in CA.

Florida allows you to subtract the trade-in amount from the total sales price (for figuring tax), right? Hope so...

Enjoy the 3!

Congrats

I traded my '03 DS/B MCS for a 330i. I loved the 3, but I really missed the MINI. Just something about this car. I wanted another DS/B MCS, but I lucked out and found my DS/DS MCS

I will be trading in my Mini Cooper S. Clubman to a brand new Mini Cooper S 2009. I already put my order through and the car is in production. They say it should be here by the 1st week of Dec.

As most of you know, the Clubman was my 2nd Mini after my 2006 Mini Cooper S.

I was very unhappy with the Clubman and I regret selling my 2006 Royal Metallic Grey Mini Cooper S with only 32,000 miles on it. I am trading in my Clubman for a Mini Cooper S. in Dark Silver. I was very unhappy with the way the Clubman was built. It seemed like every other week I was in for something, a rattling, vibration, something loose etc..

I am looking forward to the new car.

Thanks! I was very unhappy with the Clubman and glad to be getting rid of it. I never thought I would say that about any Mini, but it's the truth.

Why didn't you like the Clubman? It's not really that much different from the R56.
