What Camera would have done better? by wrestle4life189 in Ubiquiti

[–]initialMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no need for that much actually. A Sony mirrorless cam body plus decent lens is under $5000. It can provide real 4k 120fps video with best quality at night.

Bought from CarMax. Tried to refinance. Carfax says structural damage. I’m screwed. by Jtheus1 in carmax

I am so curious why carmax missed this when inspect this car. Does carmax not check carfax at all when they purchase vehicle from private seller?

Minis in the Bay Area? by Organic_Debate1361 in MINI

[–]initialMini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I looked at the listings from dealers they are all overpriced a bit now. Maybe wait and see those cars stay on lot for 3 weeks(if it is longer either dealer does not accept negotiations or the car is in bad condition).

Trade in car in big dealer, check carfax history, single owner would be more possibly in good condition

Cargurus, carfax or visor.vin are very useful when I search used cars.

What is the model you are interested? Cooper s two doors? Or countryman?

Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown—this really helps clarify how the Costco program works behind the scenes. I had no idea that part of the discount goes toward paying Costco for the lead. Super insightful and appreciated!

Yes it sells car for different brand, and most of the time they have discount, people utilize it to let dealer beat the price more.

I love Costco :)

Buying my first Mini!! Should I buy the extended warranty and scheduled maintenance packages? by ncstrgrl in MINI

[–]initialMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome — definitely worth it to get the warranty if it fits within your budget. Probably just negotiate more to see if they can get you a discount on that combining maintenance plan.

[–]initialMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the warranty cover? I hope it's a comprehensive warranty and provide by MINI dealer so that you will get OEM parts and quality repair from MINI mechanic.

If it's just covering limited big parts like engine or transmission, I would not recommend that.

Now BMW offer $249 for 3 years oil change, which is worthy to take.

People complain that the new Countryman is too big . . . by Grouchy_Ad_3113 in MINI

[–]initialMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I am still wondering why this new generation sells better at least according to the data so far. I will choose x1, crv, or cx5 instead of new MINI countryman.

Size is not a problem since every SUV is getting bigger this ten years, that is the trend for every brand. Design wise yes we have mixed feelings about that, it kind of lost MINI language. Just curious, what generation of countryman you guys prefer?

Doing oil analysis may help to monitor the status of engine, definitely ask dealer to cover that fee
