Talk me out of buying a 2004 MINI Cooper S

I'm looking to pick up a "gas saver" that's still fun this summer because I'll be driving about 15-20k miles this summer and don't want to put them all on my truck or car. Found an 04 MCS for about $4,500. It's one owner, all Service records, new supercharger, fully serviced with replaced suspension, brakes, etc. 120k miles. 6spd.

I'm aware of the electrical gremlins but everything works. And I underhand syncros can go but it shifts fine. It seems like a good deal. Other than hidden gotchas what am I not thinking about?
