I think in a few years, it will be an easy buy. Right now, the dealer markups are anywhere between 4k and 6k.

Even the Base Coopers with some options are around 23k at the dealer near my house. They even write on there "dealer markup, xxxx".

NE1 who thinks that you look gay in a Mini Cooper S has some serious issues. That thing OWNZ.

I would have mouth the words "Fvck You" to them then smoked them off the line. The Mini Cooper S will r@pe just about any SUV (save for an X5, FX45, AMG ML-Class, etc.).

Oh yea. Streetracing is on the top list of priorities for the SUV soccer mom.

You couldn't pay me to drive around in a glorified go-kart like this POS.

My mates 200Hp John Cooper S Works Edition would toast those 'bloaters'. He has production number 22 as well!

It would not "toast" the FX45 or the X5 4.6is on the dragstrip. In fact, the X5 would probably beat it by a tick.
Of course, if there was actual TURNING involved, the Mini would destroy them. 😉

EDIT: screw them, that thing is PIMP. i love teh rims...


$18000 is too much for a car??? Man, I thought that was on the cheap side seeing as the average price of a car is $22000 now
😕

IM talking about the "S" model, 18k is BASE. a nice one is upwards of 20k. no thank you.

So far im having fun with this car...very easy to throw around and the little ah heck can go! The 6pd Gearbox is awesome tho on the car! Fit and finish is superb also. Maybe if i watch some pr0n in the car the peeps next to me won't think im gay.

Pros - nice 6spd gearbox
Hugs corners like i hug yo mama's ****
Has enough pep to get around
Awesome after market stillen brakes!
Great one touch sunroof!

Cons - People think ur gay
Seats suck
Pedals and clutch are sub par
Still think the speedodometer belongs in front of the driver

Nahh... i think they're great intown cars, or short commuters....

what IS gay is words like "teh" and "gayz0r"... That's gay..

Same here. The "base" Mini has no ballz

And from the original thread post:

Get the GPS NAV system, and both the tach and speedo are mounted in front of you on the steering column

So zero out of zero girls dig the Mini? 😉

Actually, I know several girls who like the Mini, although more for the "cute" factor than the performance.

Not many cars come with turbo, manual gearbox, awsome performance, great handling for under $20K Those young ladies (i'll refrain from callign them b****s yet) don't have the slightest clue of how great that car is. Woman tend to not care unless it is a mercedes, bmw, or lexus. Well it also unknown to them that the Cooper is made my BMW. Bahh screw them man, drive what you like.
