New MINI Owner

Hi everyone. We picked up 'Nigel' (named after the XTC song) on January 12. He is an '07 Cooper S in Laser Blue/White. We got him from the dealer stock with blue leather/carbon black cloth, hyper sport and premium packages and rain sensor/auto headlights. WE might have ordered different, but this would have been close to what we wanted. It appears like we got a deal in that we were able to get him for less than MSRP and the 4.9% MINI financing. We just love him! I especially like getting in after a day at work and all of the stress just goes away and is replaced by a smile.

John.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine..... You have been assimilated.

Great looking MINI, sure you will have plenty of miles on it by May. You should join with the other 100+ MINIs us at the Nevada City Adventure on May 17th. More details here: http://new.minimania.com/ArticleV.cfm?DisplayID=1939

Ah!

Our MA was Wade, and he was great to deal with. Maybe it is the Mini way, but he was very low key (he didn't attack us as soon as we set foot on the lot) and made us feel as if we were able to make a decision, rather than feel pressured to buy it today!

John.
