Purchasing a Mini Cooper five years ago was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love my car and it is so convenient to have a vehicle that allows me to fit into some of the smallest parking spots out there. Not only is it convenient but it saves me money on a regular basis due to the low amount of gas that the car uses because it is so small. Even with a small car, I can fit everything I need, drive friends around, and get from one place to another pretty fast. Taking care of my car and doing the right things from the very beginning has allowed me to keep it in great shape over the years. If this is your first time buying a mini cooper, welcome to the club. Now is the time to go over your check list and make sure you are taking care of all the other variables involved in your purchase
Auto Insurance
Obtaining auto insurance is easy, but choosing the right provider can be a little bit tricky. I would recommend heading to a company that is familiar with the different options and can help you go through the process of finding the right provider for you. Depending on your driving history, your premium will change, but for the most part they will all offer similar coverage. Keeping in mind that this car is so small it can be considered a hazard, this may up the cost, but there are companies that specialize in helping you insure your Mini Cooper.
Keeping Track of Maintenance
Whenever you buy a new car you want to start off on the right foot when it comes to maintenance of the vehicle. Even if that car is used, you can get an estimate for when the last oil change or other service was, or simply start fresh and get the full-service update done on your car immediately after purchasing it. You can use a spreadsheet, a list of dates, a single provider with a database, whatever way you choose to keep track, just make sure you are consistent with servicing your car. The same goes for tire maintenance. You can keep track of when they are rotated and how old they are so you are never putting more wear and tear on one side of the car or the other.
Don’t Forget to Celebrate
Purchasing a new car is a big step in your life and a great accomplishment no matter what kind of car it is. However, purchasing a new Mini Cooper is definitely cause to celebrate. Whether you choose to go out with a group of friends, a significant other, or treat yourself, make it special. Get yourself a new outfit and head to Aldo to buy some matching shoes and accessories. Head to your favorite restaurant or bar and have a great time celebrating the purchase of the best car you will ever own.
