I make no representation as to the accuracy of what he says. I don't
know the guy from Hogan's goat. He sent this to me, I'm sure, in my
capacity as co-founder and webmaster of Mini Owners of Texas. But since
there's a lot of interest out there in the New MINI and there's already
been one ebay listing posted (and debunked) on this list, I thought you
might like another one to chew on.
As for me, I won't lie to you. I'm more than just a little bit
interested in the New MINI. However, I'm much more interested in the
Cooper S than the Cooper. For $3000 more (MSRP = $19,850 vs $16,850)
you can get 163 supercharged horsepower and other goodies in the Cooper
S vs 115 for the normally-aspirated Cooper. But, even if I should bite
the bullet and buy a new Cooper S, and I'm in no rush to run out and do
so until the market settles down, I would still keep my traditional Mini
and my Chebby S-10 to drag it around from one autox to another.

Subject: My brand new 2002 Chile Red Mini Cooper is for sale

Hello All Mini Fans:
Thanks to a friend at my local BMW dealer,
I was fortunate enough to take delivery of a brand new
Chili Red Mini Cooper on Sat. March 23rd. It was the
very first day that the dealers were allowed to
deliver the cars. I have listed the car on
ebay. You can view the description and pictures at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1815450067
Most of the dealers are installing lots of options
AFTER they receive the cars, such as bonnet stripes,
roof flags, rear spoiler, driving lamps and very
"high-end" wheels. Their cost of the add-ons can be
less than $1,000, yet they are adding a "special
options package" dealer sticker of $2,500 to $3,500.
My Mini ONLY has the 3 options that I wanted. (16" 5
star white factory alloy wheels with Goodyear
NCT run-flat tires, factory front fog lamps and custom
floor mats.) It has 12 original miles on it and is
likely to stay that way since I will probably not be
driving it. It is safe and sound in my garage. Anyone
in your club who is interested can send me a private
message with a "Buy it Now" offer and I will end the
auction if we come to an agreement. If you buy mine,
you can pick and choose any dealer added options you
wish at a lower cost.
Happy Motoring,
RS Miami FL
