Hi, I'm interested in custom odering a 2006 Mini Cooper S and wanted to know how the experience has been. Is there anything that can be done with pricing? I'm in the Tri-State area. Thanks for the help! Jaydeep |

Hi, We would like to buy our first mini and are looking at two, privately owned used Mini S types. Car 1 is a 2005 with 20,500 miles on it. Premium/ Cold weather & Sports packages. Automatic transmission. Harmon Kardon sound system. From the pics looks very well maintained. I happen to know the owner and she is asking $24,000 but would let us have it for $22,000. Car 2 is a 2004 also with 20,500 miles. John Cooper Works & Power Packages. Sport/ Cold Weather & Convenience packages. Leather seats & Navigation system. Harmon Kardon sound system. The owner is asking around $23,000. Which should we go for??? I have heard that '05 is a 'better' car, but the '04 is so well optioned. Please advise asap as we need to make a decision within a day or two! Thank You!!

Replying to: vzebro (Sep 27, 2006 2:11 pm) Car #1 is an automatic, so that would rule it out for me. Knowing the owner is a big plus. Car #2 is stacked with the JCW and navigation. This car's warranty could expire soon. It's a personal choice. I don't care much for navigation. Automatic would be a showstopper. That said, if you don't mind the automatic, then I would go with #1. BTW, these prices seem reasonable. May I ask where you live?

Replying to: martijnh (Sep 27, 2006 5:06 pm) I wonder though if most people would want stick shift - don't want to have a problem with resale?? Agree that the warrenty expiration is a concern with car #2. It's a tough decision!! We live in New Jersey. |

I'd personally go with a non-S with 6 speed and exactly the few options you want. For about 20K, new. ie - the NEW 2007 models will have a massive improvement in power in the base version - enough that a 6-speed in it will be about halfway between the old base and the old S. |
