Buying advice for MC S hardtop
Hello All-
First post here on this site....I will be buying a used low mileage hardtop S soon. I have several candidates (5), but I am seeking some opinions....
Given mileage within 5k of eachother, say: 18k-23k....would one go with the 2011 or 2012?
Interior materials are similar, some have the upgraded h/k stereo...wheels are 17" except one....one 2012 has the cold weather pkg (heated front seats)...one has the moon roofs.....none of them has all options. None of these would be a deal breaker for me....
Thanks in advance for any opinion....opine away!

Treat the purchase like a used car first, then as a MINI. Compare the cars based on condition, options, colors. Some questions:
Are you looking at a manual or auto?
Will you be looking to add significant mods, or keep it stock?
Where do you live, will this be a year-round car for you? (Up here in Buffalo, NY, the heated seats are really nice).
Have fun,
Mike

Will be keeping it stock for the most part, at least while the standard warranty is in effect.
I live in So. Cal but leather/ette seats can get chilly in the winter since my garage is actually sports/toy storage...but that's another story..lol

From what I've come across, the cpo or mini next usually have over 30k miles or are 2010 vintage. It's tough enough finding nice, low mileage, manual tranny mini s's here in so cal.
