Now, a lot of youngsters want to buy a Mini as their first car, and that is good, because I wanna get a Mini as my first car, but there are things you need to look out for. I've already planned most of my start to getting my Mini, so here are some tips on to YOUR start on buying one.
1. Start of small. Minis can be a lot of money to run depending on what you've done to it or what the previous owner has. So, what I would do is buy a simple Mini to start of with, maybe a late 80's-90's model. Or if it's models your looking at, you could start with a Mini 25 or a Mini city. Also be aware of the engine size, maybe start of with a 1lt engine. Don't go off putting huge Superchargers inside them.
2. Age. Because as a youngster, it will still cost a bit to run, because unfortunately most of society thinks young drivers turn into street racers and that we'll drive fast and crash. So be aware of insurence and tax, but hopefully it goes down as you get older.
3. Working, or restoring. As I've said, Rust is let open to Minis and means you could end up doing a lot of work on the car, and spending lots of money. So you want to go for one that's in good nick. I'm not saying go for a 1st hand car as it would be too exspensive, so go for a good second hand one. Look in the range of £1000-£3000 (or in another currency) or cheaper, but if you need to go a bit more higher then do so. When you find one that you like, take a very good look at it, because something could be wrong with the car if it's very cheap, maybe rust or body work, or even insurence or tax. If it has none or little problems, go for it! I hope these tips have helped you with your future of buying your first Mini. |
