Mini Clubman Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Mini Clubman reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
Is the Mini Clubman auto a smarter purchase than the manual?
It’s not like the old days when Mini Coopers did appeal the purists and a manual was the only thing to have, today’s Mini buyers a less purists than fashion followers. Although I would prefer a manual for the fun of driving it, most buyers would prefer an auto and that would affect the resale of your car should you choose a manual. I do agree with you that it’s a good idea for your son to learn to drive a manual.
How to register a vehicle bought interstate?
To register the vehicle in Victoria you will need to get a roadworthy certificate, pay a transfer fee of $38.50, and pay duty. The duty is based on the market value of the car, and is calculated at $8.40 per $200 of that market value.
Clubman S servicing issues
You've always got the right to argue your case and try to negotiate a satisfactory outcome, but I doubt you would be successful with a car as old as yours. Unless you're prepared to invest a lot of time in the negotiations I would suggest you just cop it and get on with life.
