Want to buy a MINI Cooper S

We haven't been around much, but we're looking for another MINI. We're looking for....

1. Mini Cooper S Coupe
2. Green, Blue, White, or red, but will consider other colors.
3. Black roof and mirrors, but maybe white.
4. Must be an automatic

Private message if you have one or know of one for sale.

Thanks!

Given that this could mean anything from a $7K 2002 to a $28K 2011, some narrowing of price or years would seem to be in order.

Well, I'm more concerned with condition than year, but 2002 on up with low miles. The price? I'd prefer to stay $20k or less.

I know you said you wanted an auto, but if you are willing to go for a stick, I have my '03 Cooper S for sale.
I havent oficially posted it, but it only has 33k miles and is as close to a new R53 as you can get.
Let me know if you are interested, and I can send some more info and pics

Well, I'm really looking for my Wife, and she WILL NOT go for a stick. Trust me, I've tried. However, there is a chance that I will be looking for one too, and I do want a stick. Can you send me details, history, pics, price, etc. of your car? Send to 1boltzfan@gmail.com

Thanks

Well, not yet. I ended up trading my truck for an Infiniti G37 convertible which my Wife says she'll take when I get tired of it in 8 months. I tend to go through cars faster than socks. Now, if I somehow I decide to keep the G, then we'll probably be in the market for her Mini. On the other hand, if the right deal comes around, we may jump on it.

If you go in the market for another MINI you may want to talk to the dealer for good tips of what to look for or watch out for in some of the older MINI's.

I am always very careful when buying a used vehicle.

The Infinity G37 is a nice vehicle. Good Luck with it!

Thanks, and good advice. In fact one of the members here works at the dealer, and was kind enough to offer some great advice.
