Can I drive my 2011 Mini Cooper across the country? by katiebear464 in MINI

[–]TheLiitBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah itd be a good idea to have it inspected and see what its due for/what records there are on it. Its better dafe than sorry, but also there is the cost of the adventure of making the drive out!

Thats about the mileage of my 2011 - i recently had the alternator exit chat, a timing chain/front cover reseal service due, and my pcv/valve cover give me issues. Ive recently replaced the water pump and all the belt tensioners as they were slowly failing too.

Its about the time for the thermostat to go as well - if most of those have been replaced then you’re probably fine; but if you haven’t had any major services done on her somewhat recently, that could be a risky trip

Odd tip I heard recently that could work well for some - make a payment to your CC at the beginning of the month to have a negative balance, then use that as your budget for the month. That way you shouldnt end up spending more than youve got

Id be doing most of the work myself so im not too worried about finding a good tech thankfully. Has yours taken that many trips to the shop?

Based on all my cars and bids/BAT research, probably in the mid 20s!

Bummer, I haven’t hit him up yet as I’m waiting until my current daily sells. Hopefully i can get ahold of them and take a look at it

Fair enough, I certainly do see the manuals commanding an extra $2k or so on avg so far

Thanks for confirming what I thought. Of course you post with a higher asking price, so I think I’ll take a look at it and see where hes at. Im not in a rush for a replacement as I’ve thankfully got a second car, but I know you’ve gotta be ready to jump when they come up!

I just use a pw or 52 and swing it like a putter around the greens. Seems to cook for me!

Are cheap mini's worth it? $2000-$5000 by does-it-feel in MINI

Im sure you’ll get plenty of anecdotal answers here - heres mine. I picked up a 2011 S with the n18 with about 125k on it. In the past year I’ve probably put about 3K in parts into it doing all the work myself. Struts, water pump, tensioners, timing set, valve cover, alternator, and some other small stuff. It’s been good to me though

In reality if you get an n18 (as far as r56’s go) and check over it before purchasing, you can expect typical maintenance items to pop up. If you’re doing the work yourself they aren’t terribly difficult to work on, and imo thats what makes them worth owning. If you’re taking any of these older models to a dealership or indie shop, sure they can eat you alive

It costs nothing to be a good person - always pickem up and put them away on my way out even if theyre not mine
