I just took my Mini in for service after having the service engine light come on.(Misfires I believe after reading the codes) After buying this car second hand I was not sure what warranty I had left but it looks like the 3y/36k expires in May, so I am pleased.

After going over the history with my Service Adviser it seems that my clutch was replaced around 21k and i have 30K on the vehicle now. I feel pretty good that i have the maintenance still intact still but thinking about extending it and wanted to get peoples opinions

Also the other option would to build my own Mini from scratch.. It would cost me more money but piece of mind for for years.. I am trying to justify paying $175 dollars more a month for the satisfaction of a new countryman...

So I was wondering if anyone else have bought the extended maintenance? It seem to cover the clutch if it need to be replaced(one of my main concerns buying a Countryman) and also to to go new or stick with what I have.. I am happy for the most part i wish i had heated seats and auto dimming rearview mirrors, but other than that this car is a blast to drive.

is it cheaper to keep her

Thanks!

 

I have bought in on all our Mini's and feel as if we have wasted our money. We have not needed it. My wife's 2012 CM is about to go past it's 50000 mile warranty so in the next couple years we will see if it was worth it on this one!
