Hello everyone...

Hope someone out there can give me some PRACTICAL advice

Looking at buying a Mini One but do not know wether to go for the D?

I will be doing a 60 mile round trip per day to work, shifts, journey mainly motorway or A roads, looking mainly for the economy but with a bit of performance Like the S but cannot justify the running costs. I liked the look of the D because of its S gearbox!

Local dealer said that the ONE is only 1p per mile more to run so don't spend the extra on the ONE D. it also the same costs to service etc

They also said that to justify a ONE D you would have to be doing a lot of milage so much so that you would not want to do it in a ONE D anyway

Also is it worth buying a Mini without any TLC on it? What is the TLC really worth in monetary terms?

Regards

Pilgrim
