Hi everyone, I don't have a Mini yet, but I'm looking to buy one soon. I'm hoping to get useful advice and tips on what to look for.
I've been told elsewhere, (Reddit, if that matters) that my best bet would be 3rd gen, and to look for one with a B38 engine.

I have no idea. I am looking for something in the 2014-2016 range, because newer is more expensive, and my budget is limited.

I'm in south central Kentucky, so I expect to need to range around a bit, there's not much available near me. I live in a rural area. My mom would've called it, "way off out in the sticks." That's pretty accurate!
