Miranda..  the mini looks nice.. BUT spend the money and go look in person.. drive it like you stole it.. double check the title with vin plate.. where are you in the USA?/ how far is the mini from you?? I would recommend to join local CLASSIC mini club..  and then buy mini from club member.. ( who has SORTED all the gremlins..  ) later bc

If you're not familiar with wrenching and rust, a mini is not a great choice for your only car.  I might suggest that you put your location in your profile, or add it to this thread so a mini owner or club member might check out the car with you. I'd also suggest that don't buy a car that was resprayed. A new paint job may be nice, but can hide poor rust repairs that will start to blush after a year depending on what climate you live in.

I clicked on your link and it was just a large graphic.  I stopped trying to find a car because I was thinking maybe this link was bogus.

Maybe you can recheck the link and re post it below.

BTW, I'm assuming you're buying a classic mini, not the BMW, which I think has tons of gremlins and would not purchase unless you've got deep pockets for repairs.

Hi everyone!

I am looking to buy my first classic Mini and I found a car that has awoken my interest. Now I did some research and read a lot about classic Mini’s online, but I was hoping to get some opions about this car. Thank you in advance for helping me out!
