| $500 off msrp is very very good, imo. The vast majority of dealers are able to sell at sticker(i'm in the midwest) or well over (2-3k in california in some places). Combine that with Mini sales going way up this year and it's not a buyers market. | |

Hi everyone, im new to the forums and new to the MINI shopping. My fiance and me need another car we are both college students and want a mini clubman. the one i priced out is about 22500 on the mini site. we are looking at doing the MINI select financing. this sounds and looks like a great deal especially for us college students. im wondering if anyone has had experience with the MINI select financing. we are looking at about a 6000 down payment. im also anticipating i will need a parent to co-sign with me, if they worry about credit checks. we are also going to order the car and im curious how long it takes and do they need the money upfront before they order it. ANY HELP HERE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED SINCE WE ARE GOING TO TEST DRIVE ONE HERE IN MILWAUKEE THIS WEDNESDAY. thanx, Jon |

I've read over 20 pages and not one mention of prices paid, everyone is asking for price and all that's mention is a bunch on nonsense. What a waste of time.

Hi. I am interested in purchasing an 08 mini cooper S sometime this summer and had a couple questions: 1. Anyone know any mini dealers in southern california that gave/give good deals? (example: universal mini? bobs mini in calabasass?...) 2. I am a first time car buyer and was wondering how do you negotiate to get the best deal??? 3. Is msrp the best price i would get? 4. Lastly, is the 08 mini cooper S (automatic) a good car to drive? does it give alot of problems??? if so wat kind? thanks alot |

Replying to: ppidori1 (May 21, 2008 6:52 pm) Test drive a Cooper and determine if you want one. Leave the lot anyway! If you want one, price it out with the feature you desire and then get financing from someone other than BMWFS. This is always true when car shopping: arrange financing outside the manu at a credit union or some other source to protect yourself. If the dealer has some awesome 3.9 or 0% deal, great, that can be your eventual goal but have your own financing. Don't let them fool you into buying the car immediately after you test drive! A large percentage of minis are custom ordered. Ordering adds nothing to the cost and you get the exact car you want. Test drive a Cooper but take the time to walk away and determine exactly what you want on it. Then if you're lucky you might get off-the-lot. But more realistically you'll order and pay MSRP. A couple months later your car will come in. All minis have a 4 year 50k mile warranty and 3 year/36k service included in the price. With the excellent resale and great warranty, you'll have years to determine if your Mini is a lemon and you can unload it on some other person.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (May 21, 2008 7:27 pm) i have recently went to a mini dealer and just looked, no test drive, and saw that they added like $2000 additonal to the msrp. excuse me for my language but wthell is that. haha. sister said it was just for their profits. so definitely no if they gonna add on those things right? and also are ppl getting mini's for msrp + tax or like tax included in msrp?? thanks again for the quick feed back.
