Good point. The Mini is a great car, soooo much fun to drive. It's my first new car though, and I'm still a little up tight about it getting dinged up, so I dont drive it into the city too much. 1 year old and ~5500 miles. I also dont like having a loan for it, and dont like the idea of tieing up too much $$ in a car. I know I have issues. That 400/mo could be better spent on track time.
Whoever buys the Mini is getting a great car. Looking at the market they are holding their value very well, so I wont be losing too much $$ on it.
