Question Do I keep or get a new one?

I took my 2013 Mini Cooper countryman all4 to get an oil change and for normal look over. They told me that my transfer case is seeping so it does not need to be replaced yet however once it starts leaking it will need to be replaced. It has 85,000 miles on it with no more warranty and I almost have it paid off. Should I have it be replaced when it starts leaking or should I move on to another mini before that happens?

How much do they want to replace the case? How much would they give you w/o fixing the transfer case? Everything else working fine on it? I'd say if you feel it's not expensive to fix and everything else works well, keep it. If you think this could be the best price you'll get, trade it in and get a new one!

Hi I'm trying to find someone on here that knows mini coopers I bought one yesterday and just have a general question if you can help? When I put my key in and start my Mini Cooper the yellow engine light lights up but turns off after started. Is this normal? I don't mean to butt in but I'm worried about it. Thanks!

Yeah if it shows for the first 3-4 seconds and goes away it's just part of the engine start up. If it's staying on during your drive or commute then you'll want to take it into the mechanic
