My kids would prob appreciate that. I do think the new model has lost some of its good looks. Its not unattractive its just not as Mini. I also am worried I might be nuts to pay that much for the outgoing model

Good to know, Just recently started looking and I need to make a move soon.

Another vote for the F60 model. You're looking at $1000 for a car with much lower mileage, a much newer engine design, and better interior feel.
If nothing else, the engine is a big improvement. More powerful and smoother, but a little less raw. But also a bit roomier inside. Neither is a traditional Mini so... whatever
(I drive an F55 S; my spouse drives an R60 S. I like the power and smoothness of mine, but I do enjoy the buzz and steering feel of hers.)
