Keep it James. All you will do now is pass on a repaired vehicle rather than enjoying your efforts (you had to put in effort to earn the money for the repairs - if you think about it). Get a workshop manual and learn how to do your own servicing as much as possible. It saves and you know it's been done right.

Well right now the Miata because that is all I have had, I know I will love the mini like I said it's the reliability I am worried about. It seems to me it's not a car you could have for years and drive 200,000 miles without dumping thousands of dollars into it to keep it running.
