Re: Opinions on a Mini Cooper S?

Thanks for all the input guys! Well I went over the car tonight and there is just too much wrong to make a sale. Honestly the car drives very nice, the exterior and interior are in good shape. Has a clean carfax. That is the positive, now the list of negatives:

Tires severly cupped on the rear making the tires really loud.
Multiple oil leaks, the valve cover, oil pan and crank seal on the clutch side.
Coolant expansion tank leaking.
Exhaust leaking out of the muffler on the drivers side.
Brake rotors are warped.
The power steering fan is not working.
O2 sensor is bad.
EVAP canister cel 0442.

The oil leaks were the no deal for me. If anyone is interested, you could get this car for $5500
