I currently has a financial problem so I'm trying to sell my 11 bmw 328i coupe and buy 2005 mini cooper s with 100k on it.

dealer says they can offer me at 98k otd price, i think the price is still high though. anyway, do you guys recommend me purchasing that car on the link?

please advise

thanks

 

Nope,Nope,NO. Im going to tell you right now before you buy that car its a mistake. first off don't buy from the dealer, they will royally rip you off. second thing is 9,893 for an 05 with 100k is a bit much. it looks clean and all but... look around before going in blind, but if you have that kind of money well... i don't think its a good buy honestly. that's just my 2cents. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...2808/overview/ its not the cleanest car in the world and needs a few hundred dollars. still a much better deal. i am not mechanic i am just saying.
i hope this helps

 

KBB Private Party Value is in the $5-6K range.

 

Financial problems and MINI Coopers don't go well together...

 

Buy a honda

 

Not sure how the Market is in Hollywood ,CA ..But i paid 10,900 for my 2006 MCS with only 31,000 miles on it ...I would shop around even if you have to go out of state to get a better deal on a LOWER mileage Mini Cooper S...I traveled about 3 and half hours out of state and bought my car in PA ..I live near the New York City area ....just my 2 cents ....

 

Yup - heed this mans advice. MINIs - especially older ones are not for the faint hearted or light pockets.

I don't know the source of your financial problems, neither would I judge but you are where you are. Make the right financial decision now - Spend the $10k on something reliable like a 2010 Honda Civic...and work really hard to get out of your financial problems...don't dig deeper with German made, expensive to repair cars.

 

What he said. Any financial issue that requires you to get into a cheaper car is a time to regroup and drive something very basic with predictable costs. And the biggest problem with old Mini's is how unpredictable the expenses are, especially an older Mini with 100K miles.

That kind of money can buy a really nice Honda/Toyota. I would not buy a MINI if you're having money problems.
