New "attitude"??

The Sept one is this weekend so hopefully we'll see you at the one in October. Then there will be three Minis running in Ladies GS. Unless the Millers steal my Mini!

Extended warranty brings it to 4/50,000 I do believe

you can take the extended warrenty to 75k

No, the regular warranty is 4/50000. Service is only 3/36000.
An extended service contract would make sense that it would bump to 4/50000. Warranty != Service.

If that "attitude" is what I think it is.... you guys are in for one helluvan "attitude"....

When I purchased mine from Tate the only thing that was offered to me was an extended service contract to 4/50,000 which I did opt for. There was zero, zilch, nada, zip talk of an extended warranty. If it was offered through BMW/MINI and not a 3rd party I would have gone for it.

All of my other vehicles have either 5/100,000 or 7/100,000 warranties on them. If I trade up while the extended warranty is still in play then I get a good percentage of it back or I can transfer it to the new owner or to a another vehicle of the same make....so in my case anything that DCX makes.

I have always been a truck guy and have never had a DCX product do me wrong or leave me stranded - RAM TOUGH!

i picked my mini up in nov '03 and now have 20K miles... i need to catch up real quick!

I guess I should add...March 06 and she currently has 3,050

Winston03 just turned over 50K. I have been taking him on business trips when the milage is 550 miles or so. Sure beats standing barefooted/beltless/hatless/jacketless in a security line at BWI. Fly naked!! And it's a lot more fun. And I can usually beat the plane counting getting there and ground time. Did I mention that it is a lot more fun?

BTW - I have lost track of the site that is keeping track of the mileage. Does anyone know where it is?

Site keeping track of mileage? Are you talking about filling in the profile on the Owner's Lounge?

That might be it. Thanks for the hint. I thought there was a thread keeping track.

Strega, no more "F" words, like 17 in a row? tee hee hee (Marshall will miss that) JK!

Hope to see you there, the ladies MINI class is building...a note- watch out for Tankgurl, she took our MINI and whooped my butt and a couple others last race.

Just so it's clear, I didn't physically hit Carolyn...it's not my fault she's slow!

Yes, it is but... these Ladies are GOOD and I am not..., yet !!!

Welcome to the < 2 year warranty club!

It depends on which warranty you get. Mine cost somewhere in the range of $2K () for 2 years or 50,000 miles with a $200 deductible. I bought it from Tate MINI just as I crossed 50K miles. There's all kinds of options and price ranges available though.

Strangely enough though, it's not an official 'MINI' warranty, as they don't (or didn't?) offer an extended warranty plan, so they sold me one through GM's extended warranty program!! I was assured though that I could have my MINI serviced by MINI with no problems, and the documentation that I have supports that.

I mainly bought it because I simply don't trust the CVT transmission. And if it goes out, when you include parts & labor, it's about a $8000 job to fix!! I'm actually hoping that it does die before the warranty ends, so I'll have the warm fuzzy feeling of a new transmission. Having said that though, I have had absolutely *zero* problems engine and transmission-wise on my MINI. And my little CVT hasn't had the easiest life!

We're in the same boat as Marina. Daily drive is under 10 miles to/from work. Michael drives the motorcycle in good weather because it parks free downtown. Three trips to/from the Dragon. Two trips to/from Maine. Two trips to/from Florida and:

Jan 03 MC - 42,000 miles
July 04 MCS - 12,500 miles
