So, my used BMW Mini S hit it's 10th anniversary since driving it off the CarMax lot. In that time I've put maybe 25K miles on it. Had literally zero issues since CarMax preps it's cars well. Fun car.
But it's now at 63K miles, due for all the 60K maintence stuff it likely needs and I'm a bit nervous about how it's gonna hold up over the next 5 years. Now in my mid-seventies I'm looking at maybe 5-7 years of driving due to neuritis which is supposed to leave my legs numb. Sorry TMI, but I gotta plan for my car future.
I have a second actual sports car, so the next car will likely not see more than 2K miles a year for those 7. Single, living in a commercial/residential area with all grocery stores within 3-4 miles. A replacement car won't leave the parking deck but once or twice a week for short trips in the big city deep south.
Scanning CarMax and they show a few 2016 era i3's with 70k miles or so and a price I can certainly live with. The primary requirement is that it be trouble free the next 7 years. Being 10 years old, I imagine it will be on it's 2nd AC? and CarMax will likely have spotted any brake and steering issues?
So bottom line, considering my low mileage short distance use case would a 10 year old CarMax i3 be a bad idea? Mind is made up on CarMax so any nay-sayers can hold off there. Any and every thoughts welcome and much appreciated. Thx.
EDIT - Welp - no one has made a negative case so far, thanks for the replies!
