There's a nice little article in the FAQ's > First time buyer for a mini.. what do you look for, hint/tips on what to look out for.

But my best advice is make a list of the things you want in a mini, and the things you don't mind about.

eg, you may not care if it has alloy wheels or not, or you specifically want clubman as opposed to a round nose...

Well I got my mini today for £1500
Its in mint condition. Ok, theres a patch of rust on the door about the size of a penny. But thats it. Im redoing the dash because im a perfectionest. But for £1500 you will get a nice buy.
Ive got reciepts for well over £1000 worth of extras with my mini too :grin:
also got cat 1 alarm and immobioiser!
