Before you say “You shouldn’t have done that” Or “Dummy”, I really like the car, it’s different just like me. The car I speak of is a Mini Cooper S 2005, 120k showing. Everything works, windows, cruise, ect., great tires, run flats. The thing just stopped running at a gas station, just one hour after I signed the papers. The car is mine free and clear, but I have not seen that car since that night, a month+ ago now. The car lot I bought the Mini from, has had it in and out of its own shop and a “Mini” shop several times now. To get too the point…I will need and MUST learn how too work on the thing myself, when and IF I ever drive it again. If anyone has any real advice on the 05Mini Cooper S, please reply and I’ll look you up at a later date. Thanks and God Bless!!
Minis are fine. Gen 1 2005 are very reliable types. Gen 2 suck. No one knows the difference anymore
Personally, I truly believe there are no bad cars, bad designers yes, a car is just a car. I know I can force that thing to run, once took a old ford van been sitting for four years. Been in three shops, loads of dough blown on it and it still didn’t run. Sat so long the tire were melted off…I had that van running in four hours after I took possession. One bad wire, that van ran perfectly from that day forward, and drove itself off that lot it was sitting on. The guy gave me 500$ off the van cause of a bet he made with my buddy…left with the van and 5bills. All true!
