Sooo, my previous review was of the great little mini cooper s 2013. I was excited because I have…read morehad both a mini cooper and countryman since 2009 and love minis. This one was visually in great shape, low miles, and no accidents per the autocheck report. Even the first checkup with my mechanic found only nuisance issues to be fixed. But soon after, my first day road trip started the woes of this vehicle with plumes of smoke from the exhaust pipes lasting for a few minutes, miles. After that, it was smoke consistently if idling for long. My mechanic replaced a valve cover already saying it might not be the ultimate fix. Sure enough, shortly after, upon starting the car, smoke again filed out of the exhaust pipes for several minutes driving. Back to the mechanic and it definitely was burning oil at an alarming rate with the suggestion being to check every day. Shortly after, the engine reduction light on the steering wheel display came on with no codes. Autozone plugged in a device to check for codes but none showed up. I intended to take to Mini dealirship to check but then the light went off. At this point I hadn't put but less than 1500 miles on it, renting a car because i was afraid of getting stranded with engine problems, as I did with my last mini countryman. I did get a price of 15k for installation of a rebuilt engine. At this point, I'm just selling to Carvana with known problems divulged. Yes, I know I bought 'as-is'. Yes, I know I eat the loss. And, I still feel Nigel and Neil are great guys at Best Choice. I also think no dealorship should sell a vehicle that seems to be running as-is because, like me, their customers who get a car that turns out to be equally useless, will have a bad taste in their mouth and a huge financial loss to bear. I can move on and get another car, hold no grudge, AND leave an informed review so that maybe Best Choice can change their business model.

05-02-2025 Well folks, this is my last update, because I'm…read morehappy to report that we sold that trash can on wheels! Based off of other reviews, I believe this business might no longer be in operation. I sincerely HOPE that is true. I can't believe the absolute headache we've had to endure over the few years we've owned this truck. I cannot believe this company scammed us out of over $15K on it. If it weren't for an unfortunate death in our family, that granted us just enough money to pay off what we owed, we would have probably had to spend an additional $15K in work on this vehicle. The problems were endless. Rusted body. Oil pressure issues. Electrical issues. Hell, the spare tire under the truck didn't even fit on the rim! After a while it was a real struggle to even get that thing started. It got to a point where a mechanic could list so many issues that needed attention, that we couldn't even get it inspected. Our mechanic even joked that his diagnostic reader lit up like a Christmas tree when he plugged it in! Once the inspection ran up, and we couldn't afford to do the work to make this vehicle just pass inspection, we decided that we need to get rid of this truck. We paid it off, and managed to get it running, which we didn't even know yet would be the last time that truck would even start. I can't make this up. The truck would not start after we parked it in the parking lot of a new car dealership. The dealership didn't even want it. My fiancé had to BEG them to take it off of him. The salesman felt so bad for him, that he gave him a whopping $100 for it! I can't believe not even 3 year prior, that FIRST CHOICE AUTO MALL, thought that this absolutely pathetic excuse for a vehicle was worth even close to what we paid for it. This business sells nothing but lemons. If you even had any thought on going there to check out any of their cars, please go through and read all of my updates through the years. It's appalling that a business like this is allowed to run. They're directly putting the public at risk by not taking proper care of the vehicles before slapping a for sale sticker on them. When we first stepped foot on their lot, we checked out this truck not even knowing that it wasn't inspected yet! You're telling me they can just list lemons online, that haven't even gone through inspection? Whatever inspection they all go through, it wouldn't be legitimate anyhow. This place definitely slaps used parts on their vehicles. You'll thank me if you just went to an actual reputable car dealership. I hope one day the cruddy owners read my reviews and realized how much strain they put on people. What a mess.
