    I registered on this forum as my wife is looking to buy a Mini and i was directed to you friendly folk.
    I know absolutely nothing about the Mini and want some help and advice in buying one for her.
    What do i look for?
    Where is the best place to buy from?
    faults ( if any!!)

    Your help and assistance would greatly reduce earache in my direction.

    Edit: Moved to correct forum

    Welcome to the site, you're in the right place to talk everything Mini :)
    I wonder what car you currently own

    Be prepared for a varied selection of dealerships to purchase you're desired motor
    Personally i've always had good dealings at John Clark's in Dundee, however my current Cooper is from Menzies in Stirling

    What type of Mini depends on your budget, age and what driving style you possess

    Hiya Corsa :) - i'll second that i had a ONE before my Cooper S - both great cars, just in different ways , but as Bonnie scotland says , it all depends on your budget e.t.c

    Welcome to NMS

    As has been said it really depends on how much readies you want to part with and how fast you want to go

    A Cooper might be the best choice but be prepared for a huuuge list of different options. Not to sure where you stay but Clare or Stuart at Menzies Mini in Stirling will offer you good sound advice if you want to phone them or pop in :)

    Best of luck, and enjoy your car when it arrives :approve:

    Coopers are quicker in real life, plus they don't require a hotline to your bank manager

    Oh and welcome by te way
