    Hello! I am looking to buy my first mini but have a VERY tight budget :(
    Hence age, 2004 ideally but would consider earlier.
    Not too worried about miles as long as it's been looked after.
    Some or all service history and not too many previous owners either - it'll be my first car as well so being a bit cautious!
    Any tips or ideas on where to look or what to look out for would be great too! thanks

    Good luck on your search and I've got to say there are plenty out there to choose from so don't rush.
    How much you got as a budget and do you want anything in particular on it ..
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Go for a later 2004 facelift as a minimum - much better cars than the first ones, a lot of problems ironed out

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
