I have been doing some heavy internet searching for a car,but nothing yet.
I am finding from a cost point of view the Japanese Mini makes sense,but if I can find a good relatively solid car in Canada or US thats also possible
If anyone knows of anything,feel free to advise
Thanks

Parts are not an issue with SPI's and most of the issues you may have with them are usually easily sorted.

As far as a JDM Mini ,should I try to get a carb mini ,or is a SPI version the way to go?
I am not sure about SPI ,as far as parts avialability and technical support etc.
Thanks

There is one near to me available if interested, but I think a bit on the high $ side.
Lots of Jap spec MINIs in AB also it seems.....where in CA are you?.

The 998's run well and are fine unless you plan on doing a lot of miles on the highway then the gearing of the later 1275's help.

Shawn here,just joined.
I owned a couple of Minis roughly 20 or so years ago,back then all I could afford were rusty Canadian Mini 1000s.
I am interested in getting another,but I see times have changed(and prices!)
I see the trend seems to be importing Japan Minis,but would rather just find a solid rust free(I know ,not possible)
My question would be relating to parts availability for the Japan units,as opposed to the classic units or are they the same for the most part.
Sorry for the long post
Thanks
Shawn
