That's pretty much it..
 
Everyone is paying MSRP...
 
If you look back, you might find one or two people that got $500 off..
 
Makes it real simple...

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?

All mini dealers in So Cal are pretty much the same - MSRP is your most likely outcome. Your best bet is to make sure they don't tack on any bogus charges like laser-etching or lojack.
 
 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.

thanks alot man.
 
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.

09' Cooper S vs 08' by carlover3
May 22, 2008 (8:09 am)

1. Can anyone predict/know when the 09' Mini Cooper S will be available for sale/ordering in US ? For example, in what month (of last year, or of this year ?) was the 08' Cooper S available for sale in US ?
2. And Can anyone predict/know what are the major differences between 08' and 09' models of Mini Cooper S ? and will there be any changes in the price year-by-year and how much ?
 
- I am trying to make a decision if I should order an 08' soon or wait for the 09' model to come out.
Thanks in advance for all the info.
Car Lover!

MSRP + tax, title, license.
 
Most places list markup but you just tell them it's MSRP or you're gone. They'll remove the garbage fees.

I am interested in a Mini. Is it true that Minis are not sold below invoice? I live in North Chicago area.
 
Also, anyone has experiences with Mini Dealers in North Chicago area?
