I have only bought a 2 year old car once. That was a fire sale on on my Mazda MS3. And I bought my TDI new for the same reasons stated above. Other than that I do not think I ever bought a car with under 100k miles? Once they go over the 100k miles hump, they are just a lot cheaper and now I can afford $60k cars. Especially true when it comes to SUVs and to Porsches.
Kaisen would argue that leasing often is the way to go. I think especially if you turn the car after 3 years. May not work so well if you drive it for 10.
And yes, I would also worry about the Mini track record. It may be costing a lot to keep going once it is 5+ years old and higher miles.
