Just got the MiniS about 2 weeks ago, got it used with about 30,000 miles on it, it is a 2003 model, I guess the previous owner wanted to get rid of it since the warranty had gone out... My wife has wanted one of these for a while now, got a pretty good deal on this one, so we got it. The thing is a whip to drive... I really like it, but we are having trouble with the power windows not wanting to work. I have been doing some reading on this and found out this seams to be the norm. for the Mini . So I am wondering....how much do the motors cost for the windows and is there a place on line that sells them at a decent price?


O yea, my name is Chris and from Western Ky (around Paducah). I don't suppose there are very many people on the site from this part of the country , but if so chime in and let me know.

 

Are you sure the warranty is over? You haven't tapped it out on mileage yet. I'd call ASKMINI and double-check before spending any money.

 

I thought it was 4 years or 40,000 miles..I just figured it was out of warranty. So what is this ASKMINI thing you speak of?

 

5 years or 50,000. Did I just make your day?

1-800-ASK-MINI. Give them your VIN and they can tell you anything you want to know. It's a great service.

 

there you go! Congratulations on the new car!

 

SSSweeeet...yea, you just made my day. Thanks for the good info. so the warranty transfers from owner to owner it's not one of those only applies to the original owner?

I am going to call now thanks....

 

Just called, they said the warranty expired in August.... : ( o well I will have to check into somemore options to try..thinks for the info. tho.

 

It's 4 years 50,000 miles for MINI. BMW is 5 years.

 

What a bummer!!!

That was close. Too close. I bet you went from elated to depressed very quickly!

Good luck with the fix and enjoy your MINI!!!
