I've made it the cheapest on pistonheads because of the imperfections. To be fair most the others will have similar problems they just usually don't mention them til you turn up.
handle well though, I was thinking of buying it off my brother and ditching my 182 track car. Would make a cheap track toy.

LOL exactly. 2 months wages for someone on low salary.

I take it you have no first hand experience of Mini part prices?
It's probably a very clean cared for car, but I wouldn't touch one that hasn't been extensively looked after with history to back it up. Personal preference.
To be honest I've found mini quite reasonable. New dipstick was only £16.40, Header tank cap was £6
Wheel bearings are expensive but then so are Renault. Same with exhausts.
Having recently bought a pair of inlet gaskets for my 182...
BMW are cheaper for theirs http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=RE32&mospid=48020&btnr=11_3391&hg=11&fg=40
RB 182 Cup
Great cars, I had an R53 JCW with 210bhp before my current Cup.
Parts prices can be steep, my clutch and dual mass flywheel disintegrated at 30,000 miles. Still in warranty but BMW said it was my driving style..... I'm 45 years old and have owned almost 40 cars, never before have I worn a clutch out. Anyway I digress, it cost me over a grand and that was at a reduced rate as good will from BMW, should have been about £2.5k for parts and labour!
Valeo, that make the oem DMF have since made a single piece flywheel due to a high failure rate. Info from Valeo's own website.
I loved mine though, they do handle well and sound out of this world with the supercharger whining.
