It's too bad that a prospective buyer can't see the Carfax.

Sold in NC, 1st oil change in GA 6380 miles, 2nd oil change in TX 15131 miles, front pads & rotors, brake flush, cabin air filter 16603 miles in TX, 3rd oil change 23056 miles in TX. 3yr 36k warranty expires 10/17/15. Somewhere the mileage is not correct, was serviced at 23056 miles but dealer ad says 22620 miles.

I don't like the fact that after the first 1000 miles of engine break-in the oil wasn't changed, find metals remained in the oil far to long for my tastes! My max oil change interval is 6500 miles, mostly at 5000 miles! Low miles on a two year old Mini for sale send way to many red flags!

My first thought is I would be inheriting someone else's problem!

If I'm correct I believe that 3yr 36k warranty is for the newer F56 Mini Coopers. The R56 MCS's came with a 5-year/50,000 mile warranty, could be a clerical error just like the listing shows a 6 speaker sound system!

I think the white roofs show lower the value of any MCS as after 2009 they were all black, don't see many with a white roof. Yuck!

Doesn't the 3-year/36K refer to the maintenance coverage?

You got it. 3-year/36K maintenance and 4-year/50k warranty.
