I bought new since the interest rates are typically less. Plus I cannot live with some one else's funk in my car. Just me.

just got an 04' MCS JCW this week. I always like to have the first owner take some of the depreciation. I don't mind that someone else owned it. I can usually tell how well it has been taken care of. Buying used lets me get more car for my money.

We bought our first and only Mini in Oct. 06 new.
Have no regrets buying our Mini. We did look at some year old Minis but they wanted almost as much for them as a new one so we went new.

I scraped all the old funk off before I sat down.
