New Mini Cars In Perth

When looking for a new mini there is no better way than looking on the internet. The reason for this blessing of speed information is that apart from it being instant you can look at the car without actually being there, which is even better when they supply you with a video clip of it too.

The older way used to be to get the exchange and mart and read through it looking for your desired car, which is where I found my first car, a Ford Fiesta. Then local newspapers got involved too by having a section of cars for people to sell and buy from. If it was in the local newspaper then you knew it was local and not going to be 60 miles away. On my travels back to now where the Internet exists I have decided through all of my research that the car for me is going to be the Mini.

Now living in Birmingham I have a huge range of dealers available to me that sell Minis so the deal should be really good. I decide to try the old fashioned method getting some dedicated to vehicles. The advantage of this is that there are quite a few private sales, which are not that much cheaper than what the dealers are offering. Surprised by this I go and see one to see what it is like. The car is a Mini one in orange, just like the one my brothers girlfriend bought me when I seven. The condition was not great and he had not even bothered to clean it and make it smell nice! What a disappointment.

Due to this I decide to go and look for a dealer who might have one, however all they have is the colour I don't want. So it would seem that I am back to the drawing board with yet another search. I decide to increase my range, and in a crazy daze I decide to just go national. What do I find...I'll tell you, the only car that fits exactly what I want is in Perth, so I now have to drive all the way to Scotland to get my new mini in Perth. As soon as I see the destination Perth I cannot help but think that I need to go to Australia, ha-ha those were the days.

At the weekend, I pop up to where I hope to find my new Mini in Perth. I get a cab to the dealership, John Clark where I am greeted, offered a cup of tea and escorted over to the car in question. It is everything I wanted, did I mention that it was cheaper even that what the private seller was asking for his and it comes with a warranty, tax and 12 months MOT. Life does not get any better than this.

Viewing the car before bidding

If you have decided to go and see the car then arrange a viewing and if for any reason you can't make it, let the seller know, it's only courteous not to waste their time just as you don't want them wasting your time.

Things to take: a jack, perhaps some axle stands for safety, a torch, gloves and at the very least, a list of points you want to look at.

When you get there take a quick look around. Has the car been kept outside or has it been garaged, this can give you a good indication of the condition you can expect of the body and or chassis. Are there other rotting hulks just lying around, maybe the seller just buys any old junk they can find and try selling it on, not much chance of the car you have come to see having had a service any time recently.

Take a walk around the car and look for the tell tale signs of sagging which could indicate suspension problems or perhaps chassis problems. Do the doors and panels line up correctly, another indication of chassis problems or perhaps the car has had a bump at some time. Is it even one car or was it once two? Any repairs? Have they been completed well or have the repairs been bodged? Do the tyres match? What condition are they in? Check for rot in the body or in fibre glass cars/panels, look for stress cracks. Check the areas which are most prone to rot ie. arches, sills, doors, boot and bonnet. There are many different types of panels that can be used to effect repairs on a car and because of this the quality of repairs can vary.

Check inside the car. Windows, front and rear screen, are any of them leaking? Is the headlining damaged or dirty? Lift the carpets where you can, check for water and any rot, maybe even holes in the floor? Check the floorpan and joints, don't forget inside the boot, the floor and spare wheel area. If you are happy so far with the body etc. try the engine (you did check all around the engine compartment didn't you?). Will the engine start from cold? If the engine is already warm perhaps the seller is trying to hide something, maybe cold starting problems, maybe he had to get a jump start or a tow just to get it going? Listen for any knocks, look for smoke. If you see blue smoke on startup that quickly clears it could mean the valves are tired and leaking oil into the combustion chambers. If the smoke does not clear that could indicate a very tired engine, something that will have to be added to the budget, not only for investigation but for the repairs.

Clouds of steam on startup could indicate a blown head gasket or even a cracked cylinder head. Remove the radiator cap and look for "goo". It is cross contamination and a good giveaway of cylinder head problems. Black smoke, probably just an over rich mixture but could just as easily be a worn carburetter.

Knocking. Well, it could be for a number of reasons, light tapping on the top of the engine could be a worn camshaft or a small end on its way out. Knocking from underneath could be a big end bearing breathing its last. An expensive repair. A rumbling noise could be a main crank shaft bearing on its way out, yet another expensive repair. Check the various hydraulic fluids and water levels. Look for any stains around the compartment and on the engine. Does the radiator smell of anti-freeze? Is there any oil lying around? Not a good sign. Keep the engine running for a while, some problems won't show up until the engine is warm. If the car is driveable, take it for a spin. How does it "feel" on the road, does it "pull" to the right or left? Is the clutch "spongy" or firm? Does braking throw the car into oncoming traffic? (eek!) Wiggle the steering wheel, any clunks? When you accelerate does the car lurch in any particular direction?

OK so far so good. Now, the car may be 20 or 30 years old so it is not going to have all original parts. Brake shoes, clutch, spark plugs, points etc.. if they are the original parts, they are not going to be working very well by now! But seriously, if you are looking at an older car, does it have any of the original panels? Is the interior original? These points can add value to the car but the seller may try to pass off parts which were made last year in China as "original parts".

Check the paper work. Does it have all of the required paperwork with it? Check the logbook, a very good place to start and don't be fobbed of with "We have just moved house and can't find it at the moment, I will post it on to you..". Never buy a vehicle without a logbook unless you know exactly what you are doing. It is also useful to have any old MOT certificates and any receipts are good as well.
