Default Hi First time poster from Ga

Hey all new here and just got the ok to get my Mini.


I'm trying to keep my Limit to $10,000 and I have found quite a few


I'm wondering what is the best year to get. I want a Supercharged one or are the Turbo models ok?


I know it needs to be a 2003-2006 S model 5/6 speed NO AUTOMATICs.


How about mileage.


Any and all help is appreciated


Thanks Hayden

Hi Hayden, first of all welcome to the forums. the second thing is that each one of us here in the forum can pretty much argue the supercharged vs turbo and which year is better. I think the best thing that you can do is find the years and model that you like and test drive them. I'm sure you can find quite a few in your local used car lots. As far the mileage goes, I think anything under 100k would be fine. Just make sure you get a list of the maintenance that was done. Hope this helps a little.

Teamslam1 thanks for the info. I very found a few candidates and looking forward to testing them out. As a matter of fact 2 are JCW's. The mileage for both are in the 70-80,000 range. Stay cool.
Thanks

Get the JCW! If I would've gotten one if there was one available when I was looking. Good luck!
