Today marks the one year anniversary of owning the Mini. I encountered more problems than I initially anticipated, but the damage wasn't too bad on my wallet. Here is a very rough breakdown of the problems I encountered and the cost associated with fixing them.
Fuel Leak at Carb - $100
Squeaky Brakes - $75 (this includes brake pads I ended up not installing)
Sticking Throttle Cable - $20
Heater Core Leak - $35
Bad Thermostat - $10
Steering Slippage - $0
Clutch Loss - $135 (this could've been just $25 with proper diagnosis)
This adds up to $375. Which isn't great. But that's how much people spend on cable a year (which I don't have). It's also nice to know that I never had to take it to a shop for repairs, so there were no labor costs involved.
But this wasn't meant to be a post about numbers. Just a post in celebration of my awesome Mini!
