The 2013 MINI Cooper: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 MINI Cooper for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2013 MINI Cooper, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 75 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, air bags and engine.
What the figures tell you
The 1.6L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 7.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $40.44 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. The EPA measures its luggage space at 170 litres, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
When the Cooper makes sense
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Try before you buy
Rent the Cooper for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Cooper answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
