which of these two scenarios may make more sense......
1. Buying a local used mini cooper, low mileage,cvt,sunroof etc.....
Or
2.buying a roro cooper s direct from japan as it may more or less come up nearly around the same, give or take 30k

Thanks

The only advantage i could see buying it locally you seeing it and perhaps you can get the car history as opposed buying it from Japan. I am aware you will or may get a better deal buying it RORO.

90% of the times a used car from japan will have less maintenance problems, reason being is because of our roads and climate when compared to there own.
