Hello gents! New here, just signed up.

My wife and I are in the finalizing stages on purchasing a Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 from out of state. We're in Texas and the car is in South Carolina. I've always wanted a Mini, but with us planning on having a family soon we needed something bigger than a regular hardtop 2-door Cooper.

Anything I should be aware of or ask to get pictures of when buying used? It's a 2012 model and the price is a great deal compared to other cars in our area even when taking freight costs into consideration. Any accessories I should look at getting that may not be included or missing with a used car purchase?

Thanks for any feedback! I hope to be motoring in a couple of weeks.

 

Be sure it is an automatic, not stick. Search this forum and you will find out why.

 

Oh it is an auto. I don't to manuals for city driving reasons...
