    Actually the aftermarket warranty could work out in your favor. With an aftermarket warranty you can take your MINI anywhere you don't have to go to the dealer. CPO has to go to the dealer. Just make sure the aftermarket warranty they get you has a zero deductable, and has the highest coverage for everything, and you should be able to get one that is longer than the CPO. The dealer owes it since they messed up.

    Was it invoiced as CPO? If so, I would think legally he needs to process the paperwork to make it so.

    I have called Mini who refers me back to the dealer. Mini at this point will not cover the car as a CPO because of the mileage.
    My concern is it took a 1 1/2 days to get the repairs covered the last time the car was in for service so I do not have a lot of confidence that the dealer will promptly step up to the plate if there is a next time.
    After my experience a "sorry our mistake" is not enough, the current Sales Manager keeps saying he was not in his position when the mistake was made, he has done all he can do.
    I do not have the confidence that a notation in the Mini system saying that they, the dealer will cover the associated costs of repairs which would be covered under the CPO plan is not reassuring.
    After spending sometime thinking about it is probably the best I am going to get but why should I have to settle for something less than what was paid for because of a mistake that they have admittedly made.
    Nothing that this dealer has done previously or concerning this issue has left with a feeling of confidence that they will stand behind their offer.

    Return it or contact a lawyer.

    If you paid for the warranty but the dealer never set it up in the system then you should have an excellent legal case. The dealer will lose.

    Sure... he has a sound legal case, but what will he win in exchange for thousands in legal fees?

    Examine the offered warranty... if it has good coverage, as mentioned above, you may come out on top.

    Before you sign do a little research on the warranty company. There are a heck of a lot of them out there and some are not as reputable as others.

    If you want to take the legal route then contact your states Attorney General office.
