Hi there - new member, thinknig about buynig a used Mini Cooper S.

I plan on looking around the site to learn what I can before making the decision, finding out what I can from those in the know. If I can't ride my motorcycle, I figure I should drive something as fun as possible, and from what I've been told a 6 speed mini is about as fun as driving can get, especially when you want small and gas efficient. Mini seems to hit my checklist pretty well, but I know nothing specific about them.

Any advice on buying a used Mini would be MUCH appreciated. Things you wish you knew before you bought, the good, the bad, the ugly. You know what I'm saying.

I am now off to research for a few.

Thanks in advance.
