Your probably all going to roll your eyes at me posting about another car but I would like some advice on the following:

Seen a 2005 Mini Cooper Convertable, 1.6 petrol, <22k miles for sale with Evens Halshaw for <£4,200

I would like to know:
  1. What to look and listen for when I go for a test drive?
  2. Common problems with this model of Mini
  3. Does the price seem reasonable?
  4. Any other hints, tips or thoughts about this car

I have had a nightmare this year with cars (see previous threads) but I eventually found and bought a 08 Fiesta back in September.

Unfortunately it has been written off in an accident in November (not my fault, someone ran into the back of me) so I am looking for my next car before the insurance money comes through and I have always wanted a Mini :(

Any help or information would be great

Thanks
