Buy my 2004 Mini back?
Hi. I'm thinking to buy my 2004 Mini (manual with 90K miles) back from my dad who has taken great care of the car. I currently have a 2009 Clubman (manual with 50K miles). I've always liked the Clubman fine, but LOVE that 2004 Mini for its interior and exterior styling and sharp handling. Should I do it? Or am I asking for trouble?

Asking for trouble? Assuming it's a R53, the W11 lump and Getrag gear box are near bullet proof. There are a handful of items that need a watchful eye. If you are skilled and can do the work yourself or have available a top level independent service shop available, routine TLC will give you a brazilian more miles of pure motoring pleasure.

But yeah, buy it back -- is your dad gonna leave you high and dry if it fails?
