I would forget both options and keep the cash.

Your Mini would need to go seriously wrong to cost you $3-4000 in repairs, and I can't see you spending $1,995 on servicing if you are only doing about 10-12,000 miles per year.

Worse case is it goes horribly wrong and you spend the money on repairs....
Best case is it stays as reliable as ever and you spend the money saved on a trip to Oxford to see your next Mini being built !!!
