Okay, the transaction is complete and my new Mini is in my driveway!
I've placed a couple of photos in the gallery. Have to go out with a real camera and get some shots someday soon.
I've been working on this deal for about a month. '04, MCS, BRG with cordoba leather seats, Premium, Sport, and Cold Weather packages, rear fog lights, HK sound, and a extras like dealer installed driver lights, Cooper S mats and door sills, stuff like that. Only 18,500 miles, garaged, non-smoker, no parking lot scratches or dings, with an exception on the right front corner of the bumper (easy to miss). I think I got a great deal at $18K even, but you can tell me the truth since I've already pulled the trigger.
Driving home tonight was fantastic! What a great car. I can't believe I waited this long. Now about that exhaust . . .

Excellent, the exterior of yours is just like mine, but you've got them fancy driving lights.

And can someone more knowledgeable than me verify if this is and '04 or an '05. If you take a look in solsrch's gallery pics, you'll see a sport steering wheel I thought this was only available on the '05 and '06's (??) -- although I suppose it could be an '04 w/ an aftermarket steering wheel.

Well, whatever the details on the steering wheel, it was one of many things I thought was great about the car when I first drove it. It is nice and thick!
