Not to be rude but IMHO no amount of driving joy in the world would make me feel okay about spending 15,000 more than I should have. Damn, does money just grow on trees?

3 months ago I bought a 2003 MCS w/ 29.8k miles with every option but the NAV for $18.5k (cash) and I thought that was just a fair deal for both parties. Oh, and a year left on the warranty.


However I am glad you love the car. Drive it and enjoy it.

 

(I'm thinking this was a sarcastic thread, meant to poke fun at high resale values and some "congenital" Mini stuff. Moving on...)
