Beware! There are no spare parts for this car.

Asked by michaelverdi May 11, 2011 at 12:06 PM about the 2011 MINI Countryman FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I got my Countryman back in January and drove it for two weeks before hitting a deer on a country road. The car has now been in the shop for over 3 months waiting on parts and I just found out today from MINI USA that it will be another 3 months to get the parts that I need. Mini won't give me a loaner car or put my payments on hold because it "wasn't their fault that I had an accident."

Thanks for the warning mate!! I was about to get a Countryman for my wife. Between what you said and RF tires I opt out. Thanks again!

There are parts out there. I have found several insurance loss vehicles across the country being parted out. Also, the runflats are not a big deal. In fact, they are the same price as standard sized rubber. With the sport suspension, which is recommended for the way we drive, they work rather well.

    The manual says to use MINI oil for oil changes, how important is that? I live about 200 miles from the closest MINI dealer and I doubt most lube places locally will stock it regularly.
