Looking to Buy 2014 Mini Cooper S
Basically the title.
Have been in the market for a minute looking to buy Mini with B48 engine. Missed on 2 deals but I saw Cooper S for sale for 11k CAD on fb marketplace.
Everything looks good as the guy has owned the car for 10 years. The engine was replaced under warranty at the dealership due to bearing failure at 30k. The new engine has 100K on it.
The only iffy part I feel is that the guy has a custom tune on the car. The following is the info I have:
He says he's got a custom remap, a downpipe. 3" exhaust and full intake. The boost peaks around 21 and levels around at 18. The turbo is stock, spark plugs and intercooler have not been upgraded.
Can anyone guide me as to what questions should i ask? What should I look for, as i have no experience with boosted engines.
Also, is it worth it? Additional mods include poly motor mounts, braced subframe, shock tower mounts etc, lowering springs, wheels etc.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
