2009 Mini Cooper question
Hi
I used to be a MINI owner (had a 2006 Cooper S) but sold it in 2009 when I moved to Manhattan.
Now i'm moving out of Manhattan and need to get a car again, so of course I want a MINI.
I found a 2009 that has all the options I want and is Certified Pre-Owned, but have 2 questions:
1) Is Certified Pre-Owned a good deal?
2) Are there any real problems with the 2009 make of the MINI?
I hope this is the right forum for asking these questions. If not, I can move to the proper forum.
Thanks for any advice!
P.S. - my signature and website are all out of date… it's been years since I've been on NAM

Yeah I'm going to ask how much warranty is left. The price seems good to me and is accurate to what Kelley blue book says a CPO should be priced at. It has about 43,000 miles on it.

Obviously this is all dependent on a good test drive and seeing the car.

I just recently traded my 09 justa. It had 73,000 miles on it. It was very reliable. I only had a few issues. It needed an axle seal at 60000 miles, and cost 350.00. At 72,000, it needed a new temp sensor o ring. I was also getting a clunking sound from the rear suspension. I suspected a failing end link.
I was very happy with that car, but I traded it for a new clubman.

Well, I got sucked back in by the S
I went to test drive the 2009 MINI that I was originally contemplating, but there was also a 2011 Cooper S that they had on the lot and when I drove it, I got sucked back in by it. It also just felt like a more solid car for some reason, so I think i'm going to go for the S.
Anyone know of anything I should be on the lookout for the 2011 Cooper S?
