Used MINI cars for sale in Altadena, CA

I've bought a few cars. More than a few. I get the game - come in, fall in love with the test drive, then get caught up in the mumbo-jumbo with the salesman and the manager and the finance guy until your head is spinning and you just want to leave, but you can't because they took your keys and you're stuck. Evidently Mini Universal City gets that too - and they get that it sucks, because they don't do that. In fact, my experience there was exactly the opposite. My girlfriend leased her last mini from Mini Universal City and needed (yes, needed), to upgrade from a manual to an automatic. We came in on a Monday morning and met Anthony, the salesman. Anthony digs cars.... and he knows his stuff. He explained everything that was different between the 2013 model we were turning in and the 2015 model we were driving (these cars are super-cool, btw.) Also Anthony is a fun guy to deal with. They appraised the 2013 car quickly, and presented an offer. We met JD in the sales office (who also really knows his stuff). They explained everything about the new lease. We needed a little time to think about it so we left. Over the next few days we communicated with Anthony via email and text. He always answered our questions quickly - even on his day off. I also had the pleasure of an email exchange with the General Manager of the dealership, Huw (yes, that's how you spell it.) Huw is also a no-nonsense guy who's committed to customer satisfaction. There was an issue with this lease that I felt the dealership could correct, and Huw did everything he could to make the deal work. We're both very busy so I asked if they would prep the car and have it ready for us after work (which was about 8pm.) The said no problem. We showed up, and we parked right next to a brand new grey 2015 Mini Cooper base with a moon roof, racing stripes and Union Jack on the roof. It was detailed and had a huge SOLD sign in the window....it was waiting for us. The check-in of the 2013 car and signing of the new lease took about 30 minutes (again, no nonsense.... JD had everything ready and Anthony got us going quickly.) Then Anthony stayed after closing to make sure my girlfriend knew what every knob and button did in the new car. I don't think our experience was unique at this dealership. When we arrived there was another couple leaving who couldn't stop saying "thank you" to JD in the sales office. They also drove off in a new Mini. So THANK YOU from us to Mini Universal City as well. If you stop by ask for Anthony or JD and I think you'll be really satisfied too.

We bought a used 2020 Cooper S convertible in December 2022 with only 6,000 mile on the odometer. It is a blast to drive! Don't plan on taking passengers unless they are very small children or pets. Looking forward to warmer weather and many cruises although we did put the top down and took a spin in it on Christmas day.

A great experience that I want to share. Wonderful service visit with Des who was a pleasure to deal with. Kept me informed like a pro that he obviously is and I will be back. You guys have earned my Mini business.

Largest small car I’ve driven and great car for today’s times. Small enough to save money with today’s fuel prices yet big enough to carry everything needed to travel with family.

I will be honest, it took awhile for me to decide on what kind of fun car I wanted to buy, and believe me when I say I test drove more then a few. I decided on the Mini Country Man because of one reason. Huw John, your General Manager. Because of him I'm driving the altimate fun car!!! And that's just the beginning of my awesome experience of buying my car. Not only buying my car went smoothly and so quickly. He also made sure I was well taken care of by his awesome crew Marty and Tony.. From the experiance of getting to know my car before driving off and finishing up with the finance dept. I had the altimate experience, not only will I recommend Mini Universal City to all my friends, but this is the only location I would buy my next Mini Country Man. Thank You again for not just treating me to be another customer but family. Sincerely, Ria Ramon-Fortune

Love this car! So fun and a good value. No complaints at this point and I have only owned it for three days. So far, so good!

Best prices around. My transaction was quick and painless. My car was made to order and Henry kept me updated as to delivery date. Henry, Edger and Reza are easy to work with. Highly recommend.

John Won was absolutely great to work with. Friendly, considerate, and highly professional. Found us the perfect car and was absolutely thorough and responsive to all our needs. Would highly recommend to anyone.

This is the most fun I have ever had driving a car. Quick, responsible, well appointed even at the classic trim level. The $9,900 rebate for leasing sure doesn’t hurt either

Nick Alexander BMW and John Won is the absolute best dealer and person to work with. John was very thorough and considerate of all out needs through the process. He truly cares about the client and will go above and beyond.

I acquired a Mini Countryman S, and it is a really fun vehicle! It has an engine and styling by engineering partner BMW, a Japanese transmission, and is assembled in the Netherlands. Here comes the BUT....be sure to at least be in the S (sport) level. The standard vehicle just does not produce the power that this larger and heavier vehicle needs. Also. be aware that this vehicle has a double clutch. Be sure you understand what that is before investing in this type of car. I personally wanted a car with personality that I would not see a million clones of on the road, such as the ubiquitous Nissan Rogue. There are some quirks I could do without, like the goofy accent lighting and counter intuitive door handles and hard to get used to gear stick. But there are attractive trim level upgrades that make this a fantastic vehicle, as well as some standard features...like the panoramic sunroof and roof rails. I suggest the sport seats, the power lift boot gate, the JCW steering wheel and Mini Connect. The Premium package is a great choice. I don't personally care for the ALL4 (4 wheel drive), as it's a 3k upgrade that I didn't find worth the extra money when driving an ALL4. My vehicle has the extremely fun paddle shifters, combine it with Sport Mode, and this car is the epitome of a total blast! Reliability you say? I was worried about that too, as like many car brands MINI is notorious. Well, they are changing perceptions. Routine Maintenance is included, paired with a decent warranty and the option to buy additional mechanical coverage...not a bad deal for 22 bucks a month for extended mechanical protection. I was seeking a smaller, stylish, zippy, sporty SUV with luxury finishes....and MINI fits that bill. Give MINI a try if you've never driven one!

Second car from John Won. He is always professional and takes great care of us. From start to finish, he took great care of all our needs. Highly recommend John and this dealership.

I absolutely love this car!! I considered a BMW but a MINI has sooo much more personality. This car is vary fast but it has and awesome interior as well. Everything lights up fun colors and the entertainment system is top notch. With wireless carplay and wireless charging you never need to look at your phone.

Edgar Manzanares was great in helping us getting our new car. He was patient in showing us a few cars until we found what we wanted. The process was smooth. Thank you Edgar. We loved our new car!

It has plenty of legroom in the front and back. It has 1 USB port. The car was special ordered. Fun to drive with almost all of the options.

What a cutie! I found the car very stylish. Love easy of how it handles and the way the convertible top operates. The car has a lot of zip on the highway and kept up with the big boys.

I love vehicle, must have a small car in the family, you won’t go wrong with mini, plus it’s a great little car. Got mini on a great value for it mile and no damage or accident report.

Sporty, fun, easy to drive, stylish, roomy This is my second Mini. I love the car and would tell anyone interested to buy it. Its must bigger than it looks, it drives well and now has a BMW motor on a Mini chaise

the internet sales was responsive and they were close on price. I would have bought from them, however, found a dealer with the same car, which had been on the lot long enough they were a little more competetive.

Happy with the car . Have all the safely and I really like the way it drive . Easy to park on the street .

I highly recommend carworld for having reasonable prices on their cars. The manager is also very considerate when he negotiate. Thanks for a great customer experience.

I bought this vehicle because I thought it would be fun to own instead of a BMW 1 Series. I am amazed by the performance! The fun to drive quotient is high. Acceleration, handling are a surprise. So many neat and clever features. I like the classic styling of the 2014 model better than the new ones.

I love my Mini Cooper! 2013 base although base model very similar S same engine Dual sunroof on border diagnostics keyless entry 100 hundred secrets ! I’ve found most.! I haven’t up graded much I don’t buy rims. I don’t like silver. I Don’t like it doesn’t have hot cold gadge oh, you can check it on your diagnostics while driving. It does have child safety locks. Someone says it doesn’t it does as a matter fact you can set the exactly the way you want

Beat dealership I been to!! They have great service!!!

Owned for nine years, no repairs ever needed, just routine maintenance. Sporty, perfect city car, fuel efficient 33.5 mpg all around mileage. Clubman large enough for back seat passengers and surprisingly large room for cargo with seats folded down. A bit noisy and that sports car ride,but that is what you expect in a MINI

I purchased a 2011 Toyota Sienna from these folks. The car was exactly as represented and dealing with Ehad was straight forward and there were no hard sell tactics plus everything was as represented. I have not bought many cars from dealers, mostly private party, but this is as close to a private party sale as you could want plus all the paper work is taken care of for you. If I need another car, I will start looking here!

I’ve owned my 2010 mini cooper base for 5 years now and let me tell you i am OBSESSED with it. bought the car with a small coolant leak, and fixing that was a little pricey, but other than that i’ve had zero issues with it. super comfortable, no cosmetic issues inside or out, and drives me around! I live in an incredibly small town, so i can go 3 months on one tank of gas.
