Hi everyone,

I fell in love with minis when my brother first got his about 3 years ago...I live in the LA area and am planning on buying a used mini. I'm on a tight budget so i can't afford a new one. Which year would be best to buy, i'm considering 2003?? And also is it better to buy from a private owner or a dealership?? i've never bought a car before so any feedback would be greatly appreciated

 

welcome and NAM peeps will help ya out...

1. most will say buy from 2004 onwards as they have wokr out most of the problems..

2. what is yr budget?

3. check out the marketplace on this forum as there are fellow NAM who 's selling their car..

 

I'm thinking of spending no more than 15000....most of the minis i've seen that i like are wayyy out of my budget, but considering that i'm currently driving a very old toyota i'd be happy with any mini as long as it's in good condition. Thank you very much for your input
