| If you use the mini.co.uk site then you can go to the cherished search engine and basically search through all cherished cars of the spec you want...just tick the right boxes for colours your interested in and spec you want and age/milage and then hit go. This is what I did. Noticed that there were some sweet rides in my price range and close to my spec. I then went to my dealler and spoke to the MINI guys and asked if they could source me a DS/B with minumum of Chilli and CD player for less than 13k. Just find me the biggest spec on the best car you can for my 13k They dutifully did and I love it! Good old Cotswold Cheltenham |

| Just had a quick check of the galleries and there really aren't that many in that colour combo. I think that will go up with the second generation MINI, especially as most of the press cars were red / black. Here are a couple though http://www.mini2.com/galleries/showg...0/ppuser/22094 http://www.mini2.com/galleries/showgallery.php/cat/909 This one lools cool ![]() |

| cheers guys, some great replies there, really appreciate it, can't believe how few have chilli red/black roof etc combo, I really wanted this combo first time round. Not overly sure what it us about it but I seem to prefer them with black roof's n mirrors, not sure what it is with that combo, just do...... loving this one with aero grille sort of thing i have in mind!!!

| Not sure how much you'll benefit on the consumption front - MCS's tend to drink heavily on short runs especially if you drive with any kind of verve. - Else - the only really saving will be maybe on insurance - as tax will be that same too iirc. If you want to have fun in a car - then MINI is the way to go - but it won't necessarily be much cheaper btw the cars your looking are stunning MY05 MINI COOPER S - DS/B - GTT OPTIMISED- THANKS FOR THE RIDE - ENTER THE R56 JCW |

| I had an 03 mcs then bought an 05 BoxsterS and have come back to the fold. Bought an 06 mcs in April. The later car is much better, especially the gearbox and the interior trim. |

| so are there any options I should be particularly looking out for in respect of keeping some home comforts that you become used to with R32, ie is it worth looking for heated seats? Leather seats? Visibility Pack? Xenon lights? there spec lists of cherished MCS's vary so much, I really like the xenon lights on my R32, but are the Xenons that much better than the standard MCS ones? And are the light upgrades on the facelift ones any better of just a diff style?? Also I've noticed for the money I'd prefer to spend, I could pick up a very well specced pre-lift (03-04) model compared to a more basic specced 170bhp model, unsure which to go for?? thanks guys, I know this is a book of questions but it will really help me make a decision!! ben.

| Theres a few Red/whites Cooper S's 54 reg and above on MINI cherished but no Red/blacks 54 reg and above. Only 04 Cooper S Red/black. Some looking cool though. Good luck with your search. |

| Xenons are a must. If you have driven a car with them then you will have to have them again...trust me if you don't get them you'll feel like your driving in the dark! The MINI lights are fine but once your used to xenons you can't go back. Need to ensure. Chilli, Xenons (visibility pack which has heated mirrors etc too is a must IMO), CD changer or player, Leather or half leather, aircon or climate. After that its just your personal preference. |

| went to stealers yesterday, found two cars I really liked and one was at a great price, but they then turned round and pretty much tried to sell me the car and leave me £1500 in negative equity! they offered me so little for my car i felt insulted, i know they don't offer great prices but it was shameful, and they were so hypacritical, told me it was because mine was higher than average miles, but so was there mini, although they just kept sticking to the guns of "well minis don't depreciate like others" so looks like i'll be waiting for it to sell privately......... if that day ever comes VW MK4 GOLF R32 (now left ) MCS NOW ARRIVED |
