MINI of San Diego

This review is solely based on this dealership sales practices of extended warranty. Please don't make the same mistake I made in purchasing an extended warranty from Mini. After buying my 2011 Mini Cooper S on September of 2014 with around 20,000 my car has been taken in for service around 11 times. Some issues were : Thermostat, Fuel Pump, Oil Leaks, Fuel Pump, Multiple Coils, Gasket Ring, Clutch and the list goes on... I was approached and offered to buy a " Preferred Extended" for around $ 2300. I thought with the high probability of my car breaking down I thought it would be a good idea. My Oil Pan Gasket is leaking and they say its not covered. The financial advisor doesn't even reply to my request anymore or returns my phone calls. I don't even care if they cover it anymore I just want my warranty money back since it doesn't cover anything. And it the language of the contract can be used for their benefit however they see fit. This is the estimate they sent to me below. Be cautious of used car salesmen. When I deal is too good to be true it usually is... FYI the car only has 60,000...
