Hello everyone,

We've narrowed down to a 12c or possibly 650s 2013-2015 and are looking for good forums where there's more detailed discussion of these models from owners and we could ask questions. The kinds of topics we'd want to learn about would include opinions on

How to assess service history

Running costs and TCO

Extended warranty pros/cons, pricing, alternatives

Known issues to check before buying and other inspection advice

Which options are most valuable to have in practice

Which replacement parts are okay to be non-OEM

What service can be performed by non-dealer mechanics (nearest factory dealer is not close)

And of course, what other questions we should be asking.

Would appreciate any suggestions.
