That is a solid deal, assuming there is nothing wrong with it.

Reasonable price, but nothing to write home about. The 07s are a new Gen car and will have the usual new Gen bugs.

Let me be the first to suggest that you get it inspected by a competent MINI mechanic.

With real estate it's location, location, location. With MINI's it's condition, condition, condition.

No one can answer that except a qualified MINI mechanic, and even then it is always a gamble with cars of any brand. If you get an inspection done and it comes back clean, though, you will probably be fine. There are plenty of MINIs out there giving people nothing but happiness. Good luck in your search!

I buy and sell MINIs as part of my business here in MD. Dealers are bidding $14,500 to $15,000 for 07 Cooper "S" cars with 45K miles. Your price is right. Just be sure to have it checked by a MINI Shop and see if you can get a copy of the MINI factory build sheet and warranty work history from your local MINI dealer too.

07s are a questionable product. First year of a major change. If you have questions, do a search on the 02s. To the best of my knowledge and research, 07 is best stayed away from until you do some serious research. NAM is a great source of info. Just do your homework before making a decision.
