if I didn't need her help with the loan. (dont want too high off an interest rate, and her credit is good enough for the top teir rates, while mine is one teir below)

I would be getting it. I have to get her in a better mood and warm her up too it. I want my mini :-p

Ask. Plead. Beg. Demand. Extort. Forge her name on the loan documents.

Then let her drive it awhile.

Nonononono....you gots it backwards! Let her drive it first. That way you probably won't have to ask, plead, beg, demand or extort. (Um, i'd suggest maybe forging isn't a good thing if you still want to be ABLE to drive the MINI while NOT in jail, no matter which way you do it....)

Get an AUTO and let her drive it and I'll guarantee you'll be driving her old car.

Just buy it A mini is a very intelligent purchase. It's well built, practical, easy to manuver and fun to drive. If you want one and can afford it , jump in.

From what I remeber from seeing the spec sheet:

laser blue /w black strips

premium package (sunroof/auto climate, something else)

punch black leather

the different headliner

xenons, rear fog, back up sensor (on a mini, really?)

And a few other little things, that I forgot, but thats the major stuff.

Good color
