It is the only real thing I am concerned about, can probably get it for about 5K. Does that sound ok? Everything looks good, little wear of the front seat but not too bad.

We always recommend:
consider the newest model your budget allows
find a car with fully documented service records
a pre purchase inspection by a trusted shop that is familiar with the MINIs...
The 2010 MINI Cooper non-turbo probably has had fewer issues than the turbo models in general....
For pricing values, check the kbb or Edmunds web sites and also check listings on autotraders or similar sites.
Good luck!
