Wife picking up her R56 Cooper S on weekend, any tips?
Discussion
Morning all. The mrs is looking to pick up a R56 2007 Cooper S on the weekend and having googled the arse off of it I'm after a bit of owners advice other than magazine write ups, or "on a 53 its this so could be the same on the 56" type stuff. not come across a buyers guide for the 56.
is on just under 60k
regular stamps in the book and a bill for a recent timing chain replacement, which i read is a common issue.
there was some oil leaking around the turbo feed pipe but that's just been replaced by the garage with apparently a genuine mini part.
other than that the car looks really good. slight wear on the leather side bolster, but to be expected of a 10 year old car
Car is being sold with a 12 month warranty so any issues that crop up should be covered under it.
So anything else to check out on an extended test drive of it Saturday before the deal is done?
Cheers in advance, and hope to start posting more in the MINI section if we take the car.
