of a Chili Red with Silver Top (my first Mini). Bought the showroom model since it was almost exactly what I was looking for, so it only had a few miles on it and I didnt have to wait 2 months. Got a fair deal on it and even talked them into a free mini suitcase.



Yeah its a bad pic but I just got it home after driving all day. I left the house this morning at 3 am in order to be at the dealer when they opened (its a 5 hour drive to my second nearest dealer). Gotta say it was worth it, and gave me a nice long chance to get to know her.

 

Very nice!! mine goes into production week 46.

 

Congrats steste1122. Your Coupe looks great. Please do show us some better pics when you get the chance.

 

Sweet Ride

 

Cool. Give us some specs so I can add you to the roll call.

 

Good looking car steste1122

 

Congrats! I bought my first R53 off the lot just because I wasn't in the frame of mind to order, wait 4-6 months (in 2003, that was not unusual) and then find out if my trade was worth trading, etc. And at that time, while there was a dealer 1 hour from my house, I had to go 3+ hours away to find one that had something near what I wanted on the lot. Worth the drive, eh?

Eager for specs/options and some better photos when time permits. Enjoy!

 

Pix or it didn't happen lol. I bought mine off the lot too. The whole deal (test drives, selection, trade-in, paperwork, etc.) took me about 4 hours and I was on my way home. Sweet.
