n00b questions from a 17yr old

hey nam, i want a mini cooper and have been looking at MCS, MC, and now this.

link


I have a few Q's about the JCW though

1. is reliability any different than a regular MCS? i know they have been pretty dang good.

2. will insurance be even higher than a regular MCS? or does it act as a package and not a model

3. are parts/service rates more expensive?


thanks and excuse the n00b

To answer your questions all should be similar to an MCS. JCW was a pkg not a model and this one as indicated in the add doesn't have the JCW PKG.

Even if it's not a JCW it doesn't look like a bad car at all. If it is in your price range I would at least go and take a look at it and test drive. Maybe it will be the car for you.

We switched from a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS-T to a 2005 MCSc Works and our insurance went down. Granted, they were both registered to a late 20's married female driver, but 45/mo for full coverage 500/500 deductible is not bad.
