Default Possible new owner!
Hi, looking into buying my first Mini, a 2002 with 75K miles. My questions, would you recommend an extended warranty? I have been quoted $1200 for 60 month and/or 100K additional miles. I looked into the extended warranty since I am a huge Land Rover fan and Rovers are not very reliable and expensive to maintain.[/align][/align]Any thoughts on the topic or recommendations for an extended warranty company.

$1200 for 5 years/100,000 miles sounds like a deal to me. If it were a Cooper I'd say you would have to buy it but for an S, it's up to you.

Just to be clear, the Cooper S is better than that Cooper?

For reliability, yes. The transmission in the early Coopers fails more often than not.
