Hello,

I got an offer to buy a Cooper from 2003 for 45 000SEK about 5000USD. 13000KM. Automatic.

Yes or No?

Service costs?

I am new to mini and this will be my daily car. Going to and from work about 10km.

The automatic transmission in the 1st Gen Cooper is the problematic CVT. When it fails it will cost more to replace than the car is worth.
How bout the manual transmission? My budget is around 5000usd and minis are expensive in Sweden. Found a 03 whit manual transmission and 15000km.

Better choice or is it bad and I should save up to a newer one?
