Hi everyone,

I fell in love with minis when my brother first got his about 3 years ago...I live in the LA area and am planning on buying a used mini. I'm on a tight budget so i can't afford a new one. Which year would be best to buy, i'm considering 2003?? And also is it better to buy from a private owner or a dealership?? i've never bought a car before so any feedback would be greatly appreciated

I'm thinking of spending no more than 15000....most of the minis i've seen that i like are wayyy out of my budget, but considering that i'm currently driving a very old toyota i'd be happy with any mini as long as it's in good condition. Thank you very much for your input
