We picked up my daughter's first car today after many hours spent search the web, 8hr round trip and we are back home. 2010 Horizon Blue convertible, 63k miles with nav. Thanks for the advise for you all as we went through the search process.

 

Congrats, as a R52 MINI Convertible onwer, keep the top down and keep motoring

Nice you found one with the Sport aero body kit and its painted, very rare.

 

Thanks, didn't even realize the painted trim was that rare.

 

Welcome to NAM! Congratulations to you and your daughter. She looks very excited. I'm sure she'll enjoy her new MINI.

 

Yes it is

 

The painted trim fixes my main pet peeve with Mini. Very nice car!

 

I like it , but most people don't get it due to the extra cost.

 

I noticed a green spot on the garage floor the other day, which is strange timing but I figured I better check deeper. In looking at the service ticket for the work done prior to the Mini dealer selling this one, there is a line item *EMPB Extended Maintenance Plan Basic, would this indicate that there is still some warranty left? Also, the service history they printed out shows Cylinder Head cracked, thermostat permanent malfunction, DME control unit permanent failure about 5k miles before we bought it. Of course if I had thought to look at this prior to buying not sure I would have bought this one or should I not worry since it looks like this work was all completed and has been a few thousand miles since?

 

If it was done by MINI it would have the Blue ish cooler coolant. Not green, unless someone changed the coolant out.

I would contact them to see if the CPO or if someone extended the service plan.

Get a picture of the spot and post up. Was it under the MINI or did another car park there before ?
