Proud New Mini Owner!

Greetings, all.

I just drove my 2007 Pepper White Mini home from the dealership tonight. Found it with only 50,000 for an unbeatable price - traded in my 2009 Mazda3 hatchback for it (it had over 125,000 miles).

I was fortunate enough to find a 6-speed so I've been having a lot of fun with it already. I've been doing a lot of reading and searching here on the forums the last few days in preparation for getting the deal done so I'm glad to finally be able to sign up!

WELCOME!

wow, 50K miles on a 6 year-old car...that is a great find..AND you got the right tranny to take full advantage of the R56.

My wife and I purchased our first Mini last summer after being familiar with them for a number of years, and we love these cars. Nothing like them anywhere...

Jeff.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I thought the same about the miles when I found her. It was originally sold in Hawaii and spent its days there until about the 49k mile mark and then made its way to me in South/Central FL. I imagine there's not as much space to travel about in around Hawaii, at least that's my theory on the very low miles.

Oh and I have had such a fun time so far with the 6 speed!
