Bought my second mini!!

Soooo it wasn't my intention to have 2 minis but every thing made sense and the price was right (I think) so I pulled the trigger.. haven't officially taken pictures yet since I drove it home last night..

I know nothing about countyman is there any tips or advice anyone can suggest. And if it was a good deal that I got.

All said and done car was 5250

Welcome to the 2 mini family!
I have a 2011 Countryman and a 2016 3 door.

Usual mini things, stay on top of the oil level and changes.
Easy on the clutch, it's a weak point on the manual Countryman's as they are a little heavy.

They are big fun for sure!

Have the timing chain checked if you can, to me that price says it hasn't been done and someone was afraid of how much it costs.
I say that because I have a 2012 with 110k and when I was debating on selling it I had a few offers for $8900 and $8500

Well.......
There's never a bad time to put in a timing chain! 😂

I wouldn't assume any used mini has had its timing chain done no matter the price.
