I just bought my parents' 2006 Mini Cooper, and I love it!



My parents purchased this car about 8 months ago with about 70K miles on it for $6,500. They got it so cheap because technically it was a salvage--big red flag, I know, but we had it checked out by our mechanic and it looks and runs great. I've been driving it for a few weeks and it's been perfect. They were willing to sell it to me for just $4,000 because they're awesome parents like that. I sold my 1995 Ford Mustang GT to pay for it--and I already think I made a great decision. I am loving the terrific gas mileage and tight handling, not to mention the classic look. I've never been this excited to drive to work every morning

Was wondering if this Mini Cooper has an automatic transmission?

Now that you pried their fingers off the steering wheel it's time to do some Youification!
Welcome aboard, nice car by the way.
