New Guy From Jersey

Just wanted to introduce myself.

Name is Frank and I live in monmouth county. My previous rides are:

1988 300ZX
1990 300ZX Twin Turbo
2004 Srt-4
2006 EVO IX
2007 Chevy Silverado 1500
2008 Mazdaspeed 3

2003 Mustang Mach 1 - Current

I have driven several Mini's and I love them. It's a street legal go cart I am currently looking for a higher mileage Mini for a DD. Really prefer the Cooper S. If anyone knows where I can find a Cooper S for around 13-14K please let me know.

Thanks for the help.

eBay! Or hang out in the Marketplace forum. You might also consider finding a local Mini club, or keeping an eye on one of the regional forums here. You might get some inside help before a vehicle hits the main market.

Greetings neighbor (I was bike riding in Monmouth today). What's wrong the the Mazda as a DD? Priced about the same as an S and ususally thought of as competition.

Horrible piece of s**t. I had it for 1,400 miles and it was in the shop 3 separate times. Worst car I have ever owned.

Welcome! Check out the listings and the fun events here: www.nemini.org

There are some cool events in Monmouth Co. - good people, good times.

I was just at Princeton Mini looking at the certified Minis - they're going for closer to 16-18k there, and those aren't the S models. I think you can find more reasonable prices here and through other private parties. Good luck!
