Posting here as we don't have the car topic anymore.

I want to sell my current car (Audi A5). The car is worth roughly 6-7k and I plan to use the money to pay for my next car. I don't want to get finance or a loan.

I do like the MINIs but not sure if they're reliable, anyone know? Or is there a particular brand/model you'd recommend?

TIA

Have a look on autotrader in your area for an idea of what's available. Most Minis in that price range seem to be around 10-12 years old and pushing 100k miles. I think at that age and mileage any car is going to start needing work done just due to wear and tear of parts.
