Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum but I've been looking around on here for quite some time, while trying to find the right Mini to purchase for myself. I've test drove a few recently, and most likely am going to purchase one tomorrow after the Hawks game! I'm just curious if anyone has any good knowledge/ideas of what to look for on my final check over of the car tomorrow! It is a 06 S and has about 62K miles on it. I was going to take it to shop and get it inspected but everywhere I found that specialized in Mini's was closed today and tomorrow. Thanks for your time and can't wait to own a Mini and meet you all!WooHoo

WELCOME!  and Congratulations on soon becoming a MINI owner!  WooHoo

I think getting a Buyer's Check on the car is always a good idea. Unless there's a bidding war going on for the car or the location, etc. don't make it practical, it might give you peace of mind to have a shop inspect it. If the seller is not someone you know, it may be a red flag if they object to waiting until you can have a shop look it over.  Just my thoughts for becoming a HAPPY MINI owner.

GO, HAWKS ! ! ! ! ! ! !   WooHoo

congrats on your new car. You will love it. 2006 was the best model year of the first generation MINI and still my favorite year.

Is your top white?  If so, very rare combo.
