Hello to all here in the MW forum. My name is Mike R. aka mykr. aka mykrrrr and I just moved back to SE MI from Chicago.

I'm strongly considering getting a new MINI when I sell my house to replace my current Subaru Impreza 2.5RS and wanted to ask MINI owners what they thought about a few options.

1) Karman Hardon stereo - Is it really worth the $550??? I'm not looking to blow the doors off the person next to me playing 50 Cent or Metallica (two bands I don't care for...

)

Is it worth the extra $$$ or can I find a better aftermarket stereo??? I'd probably get some sort of CD changer or break down and get a damn iPod for extra music capacity.

2) Anyone in SE MI deal w/Motor City Mini??? I'm not opposed to going far to get the best deal I can. Are there any dealers that will sell an MCS @ invoice or just above??? I will be paying cash for this vehicle and obviously want to get the most out of my harned earned dough.

3) Is the Works package really worth the extra expense??? To me, it doesn't seem like that great of a deal but does anyone have any real world experience w/it???

4) What's the typical wait time from order to delivery???

5) Anyone install a remote starter on the MCS yet??? I know a friend who does it on Subaru 5 spds but not sure if anyone has attempted it on an MCS.

Anyway...I'll stop w/all the questions eventhough I've got a million more and just say that I hope to be joining the MINI cult again soon...I used to own a 1960 Austin Mini and besides being a bondo bucket it was fun.

cheers!
