sorry to revive this thread - but this is kind of on subject... I just got off the phone with Irvine MINI and they just told me that the alignment is only under warranty for the first 2000 miles and i'd have to pay to get my car aligned - and it's pulled since day one! i went in to get it serviced 3 days after i bought it - but i couldnt be without my car, and they couldnt give me a loaner because im only 18... is this guy just blowing smoke up my ass?
