...Or Not Extend the Warranty
Hello Chaps!
MINIs are all about having a blast, and a great time motoring...so it sucks that this topic must be brought up.
I am a current proud owner of a Pepper White R56 2007 Cooper S, and the soon to be proud owner of the F56 Electric Blue 2015 JCW. I'm wondering:
1) What did you choose when offered to purchase the extended warranty?
2) Approximately how much was it?
I say that I am proud owner of my R56, however, to say that she has been troublesome would be an understatement. This is one the reasons I'm buying a new MINI to take advantage of a BMW engine. She's had a huge number of issues, some of which have been corrected by MINI recalls (which I must admit, MINI have been AMAZING when it comes to recalls). However, some of the issues I've had to face have not been cheap. A short list of some of the major issues are:
a) Timing Chain Death Rattle (recall repaired)
b) Severe Heat leak into the drivers footwell
c) Engine Head Oil Leak
d) Complete failure of the Airbag system (pending recall repair...still waiting to see if I'm eligable for this newly announced recall)
e) TPM failure
f) Failure of the AC System
g) Seal failure at the Moonroof
For that reason, I am leaning towards the extended warranty...but just wanted to collect thoughts and ideas.
Thank you kindly!
