Smile put deposit down on my mini today. :)

Got up at 7am this morning to go view a mini cooper.
its red with chilli pack, half leather and all the extras. white roof and mirrors and white 16's.
its on an 04 plate with 31.000 on the clock and i got it for 7450
the guy had payed 9500 from a mini dealership just 7 weeks ago but his wife didnt like bumpy ride and said it was too stiff.
he couldnt sell it for the price he payed so dropped his price to sell.
still got 10 months warrenty with mini and needles to say i put a deposit straight down, im hopefully collecting within the next few days.
realy excited as its the newest car iv had and after owning 3 106's (one being an old rallye) the mini is luxury.
so hopefully i will be on this forum a lot more in the neer future.
sorry for the essay.

MINIs can have many names from "it", "him/her" or "the car" to exotica - but I've never, ever, heard of one called that!.

Welcome BTW and well done with your purchase!.

Dunno any Peugeoteers but you've joined the most friendly bunch of car owners I've ever come across in more years of car ownership than I care to admit to. (You're only here on probation mind, until you post some pics! )
