The 2020 MINI Cooper for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 MINI Cooper for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2020 MINI Cooper, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 7.5 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $39.39 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space, size and seats
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 255 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Cooper on your commute before you commit to it. If the Cooper is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Cooper for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Get an offer
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
