OK, Iv'e always have steered away from buying a MIni because of the trans missions problems and the repacement cost. However, I have not seen many models from 2006 with problems. Now which trans mission wll hold up better a six pd or a CVT.(Mini S) What warranty can you buy to cover trans mision for 5 years,or 50K? Also, can you get the mini w/o runflats?Lastly how do the Minis built today compare to the ones built from 2003 to now?

Hi I know this question has been asked to death, but I don't know very much about cars and I'd really like answers geared towards my specific car/maintenance offer. I drive a 2006 cooper. Currently, I drive about 80 miles a day, but that will only be until march of 2010 (the job ends then), and then I will be taking the subway and not driving. I live in nyc so I won't be driving very much after march of 2010. The car currently has 54,000 miles on it. I am not an aggressive driver at all. Mini has offered a $2,000 extended maintenance for 50K miles or 3 years, whatever comes first. Is it worth it? Any thought are appreciated.

Replying to: polly4 (Mar 13, 2009 5:49 pm)  Could you tell me how much you paid for the freon leak repair? I am going to get mine repaired tomorrow and would love to know in advance how much this is going to cost me UGH Are you still having issues with your A/C? |

I'm looking at a used 07 Cooper S with only 8000 miles at a non-Mini dealer. Are used cars still eligible for the maintenance program (was it even offered in 07) if they are still under warranty and within the mileage and year range? Thanks.

The black trim around the top of my new Cooper(less than 2 months old) is fading in areas. There is about a six inch strip on one side and almost that much on the other. The trim on my 2002 Honda looks better than the trim on the Mini. Is there anything to put on it as a treatment to protect and/or bring the color back. This is really disgusting considering the age of this car. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
