I live in the DFW metroplex and I'm thinking about getting a Mini Cooper S. I previously have been a Scion tC owner since 2005. I was in an accident in my car on Monday 10/12 and my insurance is considering the car a total loss. Very sad, but maybe this is an opportunity to start a new chapter in my life.

I am looking at two vehicles in my area. Both are used.

I looked at and test drove this one today. I really like it. http://www.lonestarautogroup.com/use...0a0aacd357.htm

I am going to look at this one tomorrow. I really like the color.

Thoughts?

 

Okay, I have decided to try to get the bright blue one. It's a 2005 model and I test drove it today.

Several people have viewed this thread, but have not replied.

 

welcome ... no one replied as you never asked any questions /// just stated the two you were looking at

 

Sorry about that. Just looking for some opinions from some current owners. Still thinking about the blue hardtop.

Someone said something recently about these not being very reliable vehicles. Didn't sound right to me. I was planning on having the car looked at by a qualified shop or BMW Mini dealer before going through with the purchase.

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

could not have said it better my self

 

That looks awesome, Andy Would be worth it. Really too bad you did not buy a black car. So much more work to do a color change. J

 

blue one looks good for the higher mileage the 07 must be the last of the S/C ragtops

 

Thanks(?)

 

They're both pretty sweet. Looks like it will be the blue one. The black one went to auction. They had it on that lot for a while and gave up on it I guess.

 

Hopefully, I'll have the blue one on Friday. The black one was really nice, though.
