Questions on buying used 2012 Coup
I might be checking out a 2012 mini coup s automatic transmission in a couple days. Few questions for the experts. Has 120k miles, asking 7300 + taxes and tag fees good price? Also can a guy of my weight and height fit comfortably in it 6'2 350lbs ? I'm looking for a 2dr coup sports car and this one caught my eye since I don't see many of them in my area. My Max to spend on a car is 11k and I'm waiting to have a little head way to customize my new car to what I want. How expensive are mini repairs?

Did you try it on for size?????
I'm big and I fit (in an R59 and earlier models), but you've some size on me ......

depends on where you get 'em done! You can find local folk who can do routine maintenance for little. A local mechanic can do many things, but may fall short IF he doesn't have the full suite of BMW diagnostic tools.
OTOH While the MINI appears to be a small and inexpensive sport coupe they are extremely complicated and computer driven. MINI is a BMW company and therefore the dealers tend to charge BMW rates (altho don't misunderstand, a BMW dealer will NOT work on a MINI in most cases) ....
In the end ... expect the repair or maint' cost to exceed a Honda . . . . unless you turn wrenches yourself
