Help Please... (to buy or not to buy)
 
I absolutely love MC and just got my loan approved for one... I have an appt to finish the process tomorrow. I'm having second thoughts though...
This is a 2012 MC with 41K miles in excellent condition and the price is $12700.
My biggest concern is reliability and longevity. I don't want to go broke maintaining the car... I do have an independent shop about 40 minutes away, but still... there are many reports that say MC are a money pit and needs expensive repairs...
What are your thoughts please?

MINI's do cost a little to maintain. The N18 has been discussed as being a little better than the N14 in terms of issues, but they still have their quirks.Here is a thread that may give you some insight.
