New here - what year convertible should I buy?
Hi there. I want to buy a mini convertible as a fun second car for weekend driving on nice days only. I know for sure that I’ll want an “S” and manual transmission, but would I be better off with something 2011ish-2015 with lower mileage or 2016+ With higher mileage (that’s the year they introduced the Gen 3 convertible, right?). I’ll be driving a lot of remote country roads, sometimes with my kid, so I need this car to be reliable and not leave me stranded. I’d love it keep it in good shape for many years to come. Would a 2011 or 2012 with around 50k miles be reliable for the long run? Or am I better off with something newer? Really I just want to have a lot of fun and not have to mess with anything. Also, there is a mechanic down the road from me who works on minis who has a decent reputation but I don’t know him. I was thinking about stopping by to ask him some of these questions - what else should I ask him? Thanks so much!
