United States
Sweden What to look for when buying?

Greetings from Ohio.

Sorry--I'm sure that this topic has been discussed numerous times before, but my girlfriend and I would really like some help making a decision.

She is looking at buying a base model 2005 Mini Cooper...
Here are the specs:
Mileage: 21,261 Exterior Color: Hyper Blue Metallic Body Style: Hatchback Doors: Two Door Engine: 4 Cylinder Transmission: Automatic Drive Type: 2 wheel drive


This car is very clean with lots of options... amongst our favorites are the heated leather seats and the sun roofs... we are still not quiet sure what to think of the CVT transmission, but she has her heart set on an automatic.

The dealer is asking $18,900 US.

We just wanted to know what are the things we should be looking out for? e.g.(Maintenance costs, Reliability, and Options to consider).

Maybe there are some good resources you could point us to for finding out more about these great little cars?

TIA
