Looking to possibly buy a Mini. Any advice?

Hello all-

I'm looking at possibly purchasing a low mileage 2003-2005 Mini S model and I'm looking for some advice on what to look for problem wise. I've done some research and have seen problems regarding water pumps, roof seals, transmissons, etc. I'm thinking this should be a good option for a very unique commuter car with both power and great mileage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

MINI's can come with all sorts of problems just like any car, so try to find one that is the right color, has the equipment you want, and seems to run well, average to low mileage, has a good body and no history of collision or flood damage, is priced right, have it checked out by a qualified MINI mechanic and if it all checks out, BUY IT and ENJOY.
