Hi All,

First post on here so go easy!!

Looking to buy a Mini Cooper S budget of around £7500 - £8000

Ideally in Electric Blue, White roof, mirrors and wheels.

Any tips for things to look out for in particular when buying a Cooper S.

Looked at around 5 now and cant seem to make up my mind!!

Looked at one in particular at a dealer and all they will knock off is £100, because its priced at £7900, has sat nav, climate, 6 disc changer, chilli pack etc

All help appreciated!

Cheers Mike

I dont know much info on what to look out for on a MCS, as I only own a MC.

One thing that caught my eye from your post is the description of the car your after...

They is one for £7400 at BMW Sytner Leicester, 55 plate (I think) Electric Blue, White Roof, White Mirrors, White S wheels, 36k Miles, TLC, Sat Nav, and loads of extras.

This one caught my eye the other day, But Im going to hold out for a few months. Might be worth you visitng your local Sytner, and get them to pull the details up of this one from Leicester.

Few things I could possibly think to watch out for, is very high mileage (of course) Service History etc (the basic stuff).

But Im sure some very nice MCS owners will point you in the right direct on that.

Also...Welcome to Mini2

I think what he's asking is whether the car you have been to look at is at a MINI dealer. Prices at MINI dealers are generally £1000 more, but the cherished warranty is worth having.

Do a search and there are plenty of 'what to look for threads'. Here's one from the last couple of days
