It's Also Fun!I call this idea the 'pre-used car test drive', but you know it by it's more common name - the 'new car test drive'. That's right, I'm suggesting you test drive

The R56 Mini Cooper S is a great option because this model is typically not too old, and not too new, with not too many miles and it's also not too expensive, but these cars do have their issues, some of which I will discuss later in the podcast. 01:55 - A Brief History of the Mini CooperSir Alec Issigonis designed the Mini

In this episode I discuss five simple, yet essential rules to help buyers find a cool used car, truck or SUV. These may seem basic and fall into the "Duh, Captain Obvious" category, but it's surprising to me how often people ignore these simple steps and end up with a used vehicle that's less than perfect.
