2008 Mini S Convertible

I am looking for a convertible and I love smaller cars so MINI is definitely something that appeals to me, but i know that the older models aren’t as reliable as 2013+. What problems have yall encountered for the 2008? Do you think it’s worth it? I’m looking for something reliable, i commute every day. I’d want it to last me a couple years at least.

Saturn Sky Reliability.

I’m really interested in getting this car. I love it and it has a little under 60k miles. I’ve even seen one for 10k with 39k. I want the sky but i also need a reliable car. I’m gonna put a little under 70 miles a day on it. i commute. know it won’t last forever like a toyota but can it take me to 150k miles? or even 200k? with matinee of course. I’ll do what i need to to maintain it. also how it is on parts? i know the cosmetic parts on the exterior are said to be hard to source and that’s fine, but if there is a mechanical issue, will it be as easy fix? i know i don’t need a convertible but i really want one, and i’ve come up on some money! i know it’s not super practical in terms of storage space, but i just wanna know it won’t break down ons
