Long story shortened. Had an 08 Mini and crashed and totalled it. Brought an 05 used one to save $ and starting having the transmission issues after about a year or so. Decided to get out of that. wanted Countryman but decided it was too much $ for it with options I wanted. Got a fully loaded 2011 Juke SL with 2.9 financing. Like the car but it is not a Mini. Went to NY AUto show and stopped by Mini booth. Fell in love with Bayswater Copper S. Went to dealer today and have decided to order the vehicle this week. $750 off MSRP and also getting another $750 for the take down event. Also they made a fair offer for the trade of juke so will save on slaes tax as well. Very happy. Good to be "home". Will post photos when it gets here.

 

Nice
