Hello, welcome to MINI2.

Please post a MINIs Wanted advert in the MINI2 Classifieds as a starter.

Also trawl through MINI Cherished.co.uk and the usuals autotrader etc.

There really isnt too many negatives with these cars aslong as you have the Chilli pack most people swear buy it and as a starter look for 1 with that on!

the rest is all down to tghe price your willing to pay! some of the options i personnaly look for is Air Con and full leather with chiili pack! the air con comes standard on the MCS with Chilli but not on the cooper its an extra option!

and a Cherished MINI would be best! depending on your budget!

Do not ever go after early models most of the have faults.
I so regret for not spending an extra 1k and getting a 53 or 54 reg car. Now i will be spending more than 1k to fix the car, new gearbox, exhaust and manifold. I might even neeed a new clutch.

buy cherished looked at home high milers and after looking on the net found cherished was well worth the extra money!

you'll find majority of good minis stay in mini dealerships!

Anything wrong just drop it at dealers!
