I finally got all my financial ducks in a row and went to the nearest Mini dealership in Hartford,CT only to be told that the approximate wait time on any customized Mini was close to 13 weeks. So I called the other dealership in CT and was given a 5 week time but over the phone. I'm not sure who to believe because the wait time is nothing they can control. The other thing the salesperson in Hartford mentioned was the $400 dealership charge they tack onto the MSRP for processing the paperwork and other formalities. Anyone else have any experience with this? |

So after going back and forth between several sport compacts (Civic Si, GTi, MS3, etc...) I am looking again at the Mini Cooper S. My budget is pretty tight so I want to go easy on the options, and I am wondering about the sport package. I've driven Cooper S with the sport pack and found that it was a hoot to fling around, but the rough ride would have made road trips a no-no. So, what if I skip it? Would I see much improvement in the ride? Will I notice much difference in the handling? (I don't really do track days or autocross, btw.) Thanks for your input!

Replying to: minifan3 (Jul 16, 2008 5:03 pm) But New Country is charging $400 for just to take a look at my application and then process the paperwork that any car sale would require. There is no additional benefit to me for paying the fee. I understand 'supply and demand' and just because of that principle, I found 2 dealers who are selling at MSRP, no questions asked. Not my loss
