new here future mini owner
 

I fell in love with minis back in europe (pate 70's) my uncle had a two tone (1.3?) had tires suitable for a wheel barrow and small sport steering with central speedo. now i am in the market of geting my first used, I have seen some 2003 cooper s in my price range read some mixed reviews so i figure that people in this forum would know better.
are these cars troublesome? and what is a fair price
