Diesel truck addict here thinking about a Mini.
 
As the title says, I'm a Diesel truck addict. I've got an 01 Ford F250 Diesel truck and I'm quite happy with it but it's got 265,000 miles on it and I may be looking for something a little more fuel efficient and a Mini Cooper was the first thing that came to mind. I'm looking for something in the 15,000 range if possible and something with less then 70,000 miles; is that possible?

Any suggestions? I just want something that gets real good fuel mileage and that has as few issues as possible.

Thanks!

PS - I know lots of other forums like pics so here is one of the Ford:

Depending on your location, your mileage and price goals are achievable. Most recommend any MINIs 2005 +. They are not made in heaven, though, they can be quirky.
I am a fellow diesel owner with an 01 Dodge 3500, 190K, a 96 Dodge 1500 4X4 and a 2004 MINI.
I like my trucks a LOT but the MINI is a total BLAST!!! Plus it gets 30MPG average while my 1500 is lucky to get 11.
