    If one was to look at 2nd Gen Justa's, is there a particular year that seemed to be the sweet spot for that generation? Starting to do to some planning around a third car that could end up as Lil' B.A.D.'s first ride.

    I have an '09 with 110,000 miles. Been pretty built proof in my short ownership. Looking at its service history only normal things have been replaced.

    Only recommendations...don't buy one that has been repaired with JB Weld. Don't buy one that has cheap eBay camber plates. Don't buy one that has, what looks like garage door weather stripping attached to the front bumper. Don't buy one with any Alta or M7 parts installed.

    The 2013's are coming off lease with low miles and the good ones the Mini dealers are certifying and reselling. That's what I got. Last of the R56 year, so I'm hoping that also means most refined and bugs worked out.

    '13 Justa Roadster (11/12 build date). Original owner. 35K miles. A few mods (Garage).

    Not one single unscheduled maintenance item for the life of the vehicle.

    How is it that you are still driving this? I'm considering Justa's because I figure you will trade your's in at any time and then I will have two extra sets of wheels to use if I get one!:ihih:
