The wife recently bought a mini and was interested in a Cooper or the S.
We saw yours on the net (Autotrader/Pistonheads I can't remember) but if it hadn't been so far away it would have definiteley been on our list. Well priced and nice spec.
I was advised (by some on hear

) too up my budget to above 9k for a Cooper or an S

[I'd reckon with the budget you have you'll be lucky to find an S and possibly even a cooper with mileage that low, what about a ONE and doing some modifications to it to make it go a bit faster and look better when funds allow?
It's a bit like buying houses, there is always a compromise unless you get lucky! Good luck]Unquote
Anyway you would be a fool to drop it anymore it is well worth 9k imo.
