July 5, 201411 yr Did you check insurance? I only ask because I've got a colleague that was quoted more for an SRT4 Neon than a Viper.I was paying about $125 a month for a 2000 viper and 250 for a crewmax tundra. 100 200 100 on each.
July 5, 201411 yr So, I am almost certainly getting a Focus ST, but damn, I've always liked the Mini. Just not sure I can handle the BMW repair and insurance costs. On the other hand, it will not depreciate like the Focus. You don't want one. We work on a lot of Minis... tons of problems, many major problems. The Mini S is a huge timing chain eater, and all Minis like to swallow oil. BIG fuckin problems. The stupidest shit is their oil traps in the VCs fuck up causing odd misfires. Valve cover needs to be replaced to fix it... just fuckin' stupid... Lots of direct injection issues on them too, carbon buildup causing misfires and wiping out chains... We had one lady who had 4 chains replaced in 3 years at the dealer and they never cleaned the carbon problems that were wiping out the chains. They ride like shit, too. I would rather drive a Smart car (and yes, we work on those pieces of shit too... MB will not cover warranty on Charcoal canisters, which is the law, as I have had to replace 3 on cars with under 30K).

July 5, 201411 yr Sorry to rain on your parade, bud, but I would own a Ford Escort, Windstar, or even a Pinto before I would own a Mini.
