Finally got one!!!

Well after hunting for 2 months I finally found a Mini down in Ft Lauderdale. It is a 2006 Pepper White Cooper S it only had 6,000 on it. I got it for $15,500. I have been on the website reading about what to look for and I did a pretty good look over it before I bought it. It was of course owned by an old lady who bought it from them and traded it in on a 2012 Mini. It is in perfect shape and they gave me a 60 day warranty. Just got home driving 200 miles on I-95 and it drove like a charm. Here are the options

English Black Leather
Premium Package
Sport Package
Limited Slip Differential
Center Armrest

Actually had a guy who came in to buy it as I was doing the paperwork and they must of had 4 phone calls on it also. I showed up at 9AM to make sure this one wouldn't slip away.

Pics coming soon I am looking forward to starting the mods and to continue educating myself on the boards.

Thanks guys. Yep really enjoyed the ride home. I've got a 03 Cobra with a Whipple and I think I like the Mini better. Better handling and riding and I'm going to do the normal mods to bump up the HP of course. Jimalameda, I lucked out finding the Porsche, got it for $2800. I almost ran to the bank to get the money. It had been in his family since new. He gave me the original bill of sale from 1970 and every receipt of maintenance that had been done on it. It is in great shape and runs like a champ.
