Deposit taken, so it's official. Only minor thing is that the car has 99 miles on (we put on 4-5 of those). If the other one, which is identical, has less miles, we'll take that one. But either way, no big deal. We pick it up next week.

Right. Given that it isn't a manual, probably not a big deal.

Exactly.
I will add that to my surprise, this car appears super cheap to insure. Like under $500 per year. Same coverage as the other cars. Maybe because it is a 4th car? Maybe because I put 4-5k miles per year? |

Well, with the current 3 cars, I added my oldest and it cost ~$1k. That was a quote from a month ago. He gets his permit the day after we pick up the mini, so I will make both changes at once. The M5 would be another $1k. And at that point I bet the kid quote doesn't stay at $1k.

All set for Tuesday transaction and Wednesday drive-away. We got the new one and they put on the white mirror caps on that my wife wanted. I got a VIN and setting up insurance coverage now.
Now I need to find a big bow to "wrap it" for Xmas. ![]() Last edited by FC; 11-25-2023 at 12:17 PM. |

Yeah I only mention it cause our local mini dealer has a “mandatory “ $1600 add on package of bs. Probably worth asking them to send you the final invoice via email before you arrive just so you can double check Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
