Welcome!

I've always wanted a Mini Cooper S since passing my test 10 years ago. Had various other cars in the mean time but as soon as the DS3 came out in 2010, I knew that it was my new fantasy car!!! And it comes on Monday!!!!!!

Pick up delayed until Sunday because I want a few items looking at before accepting the car, it's a little frustrating but I'd rather it was right before I sign on the dotted line.

Berty - I'm curious as to what were the items you wanted looking at ?

Damage to 2 wheels, poor finish to paint in a small area (scuff) were the main points

Nice that the dealer is fixing these for you

Surprising to get damage on a new car
Ed: And a shame

It's not new and I'm a fussy sod, I haven't bought new for a few years, I prefer to buy after the first massive depreciation has happened.

Picked my DS3 DSport up on Sunday and managed to get out for a 100 mile drive yesterday, the drive is quite different to the Cooper S Clubman but not in a bad way, you don't notice the lower bhp on the move but the ride is softer, less like a go cart. I'm enjoying so far

Bet it gets more looks than the Mini
Understand what you say bout depreciation, but like the fact that I know where mines been and done
