Dynamic MiNi Collective

Well i don't have a mini yet......

But i am going to the mini dealer tomorrow! Don't think i am going to pull the trigger yet, have to sell my current car first (which i hopes goes fast!)

But i still wanted to stop in and say hello!

I currently drive a "interesting" car which is a saab 9-2x aero aka the saabaru (subaru wrx wagon in saab clothing). I got the saabaru before the r56 was finalized and going into production. I was going to wait but i needed a car asap and figured it would be a good car, exp with moving cross country!

But every day i get into the car and think back to the first R56 mcs i test drove and know i can no longer put my self through this torture! I am a mini fan! When i see them on the streets it brings a smile to my face. Thinking about it makes me happy. hahaha at first i thought i was crazy! but after reading post on nam and everywhere else i know i am not =)

i look forward to meeting people in this group!

oh well i have taken up enough of your time!

Sounds like your nearly hooked! Good luck on the sale and purchase, and welcome!

Welcome!!!

ohoh! Another Dan!! Welcome Dan!

Welcome to DMC!!! Buckle your seatbelt, you're in for a fun ride!

Got back from the mini dealer a little while ago, didn't know the only dealer in az was not even a free standing dealer!

that was a surprise! all the other mini dealer i have been to are their own building with their own service department.

but any how talked to brain dewire, seemed like a stand up dude. got the questions i needed to know about payments and what not.

now all i need to do is make a order for some detailing stuff (i think i am going to try some prima stuff) and get my car on the market. once i sell it i will put down my deposit and get the ball rolling.

when all is said and done i hope to have a mini in my driveway by mid march! sooner would be great! but i don't expect my car to sell until after the holidays are all said and done with.

i may see if i can get out to the car show next sat. i have to work till 6 so its going to be close but i maybe able to ditch a little early.

have a good one!

Hey congrats! I'm glad you joined us.

Welcome...
What color are your going to get?

as for color i don't know yet =(

i have a massive internal battle going on between pepper white and sparkling silver..... which one is going to win? at this very moment i am thinking pepper white.... but who knows what tomorrow will bring.. or even the next day!

if anyone has a friend looking for a good "fun" car the saabaru is going up on craigs list tomorrow. going to be asking 17,500 its a 2005, same car as a wrx wagon but with more options!!!! it even has every option under the sun (hids, leather, sunroof, 17's, heated seats) has 51k on the clock but i got it cert. preowned so it has a 100k warranty. the quicker i sell this thing the sooner i will be able to get a mini!!!!

i am torn tho, once i sell my car i may car i may pick up a beater for like 1000, that will help me be able to save for a extra month or two and get a bigger down payment. but that means less time with out the mini of my dreams... ugh decisions... decisions...

Well, it seems that you have the same two choices I did. Whore yourself out on the street corner or kidnap a college student and hold them for ransom (blondes seem to get more money...stay away from the redheads! ). I chose the latter and I can say I am quite happy with my mini.

Why can't you trade in you current car?????

I was wondering the same thing...

i owe about 15k on my current car,

i should be able to sell it for about 17.5 i am not sure yet because theres, ummm, not a single one for sale with in 300 miles..... i think there are a couple in Denver but thats about it! hard to gauge what it will bring in this market. wrx's of the same year with similar miles pull 16-20, i have more factory options they they do and am starting at a more reasonable price, just to try to get the thing to move quick.

according to kbb my trade in value is about 13.5-15.5 i just know that they would offer me the lower amount, flipping me upside down which is not so cool
