Greating to all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) My wife and I are having a problem deciding on a new car or good used tail dragger. She wants a new Mini S. Red white stripes heated seats all the good stuff. She likes the idea of a nice 911 as well. I need some help from this group of wise men and women to make the call. Any and all help is welcome.
After all it's Friday and I don't want to work today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Thanks Steve |

we have a development MiniS at work. nice car, reminds me a lot of my ur-GTI, but of course much more refined.
there is much to be said for a new(er) car with a warranty. a "nice" 911 with comparable appointments will be a lot more expensive than a new Mini, and will come with no warranty. high-powered front-engine FWD vs high-powered rear engine RWD -- these cars are night-and-day in feel, although in ultimate performance they're not too different. they can both easily turn into project cars if you let them - many upgrade parts available for both. any 911 new enough to be considered "nice" by wife standards is going to be well down the path to GT (rather than sports) car and not as nimble, quick, or tossable as a Mini. |
