Howdy from NC!

I have just started my search for a Mini. The car will be my daily driver and I do quite a bit of traveling for work. I currently dd an 06 S2000 and it is just not working out as my daily driver. I also have an 08 STi that is set up and I autocross it and she is my garage queen.

I have found two minis so far. One is an 04 MCS w/122k miles and a 1 owner car from Fl for $9k, the second is an 03 MCS w/89k miles for 10k. I know the 04 has miles but it is a 1 owner and well maintained. The 03 has my eye because of the black & blue interior. My other requirement is the color - it must be blue!

Any thoughts would be great! Thanks
