Replying to: sabastian (Jul 17, 2008 4:32 am) imho, Get the spot package and replace the "run-flat" tires with ANYTHING and you're ride will improve 100%.   AND, I have taken my MINI everywhere-long trips included. Most freeways are in FAR better shape than secondary raods and the MINI S will cruise 80-90+ all day. Just don't get caught!

#1079 of 1305 No Sports Package Available? by nyccarguy Jul 25, 2008 (10:42 am)
I just tried to "build my own" MINI Cooper S on the MINI website & it says the Sports Package is unavailable until December 2008. What gives? I'm just curious. Replies to this message: waterflame (Jul 25, 2008 11:55 am)

Replying to: nyccarguy (Jul 25, 2008 10:42 am) You're building a 2009 Mini. It comes with DSC and some other stuff already included in it.

There are three MINI dealers in the Chicago area, viz: Knauz in Lake Bluff, IL Jacobs in Naperville, IL Patrick in Schaumburg, IL   Has anyone paid less than MSRP for their MINI at any of these dealers?

#1083 of 1305 Waitless in Seattle! by minisg Aug 13, 2008 (9:10 pm)
I just ordered a 2009 Mini Cooper S with all options. My expected delivery is in 8 to 10 weeks. Paid MSRP. I tried to buy from the NW Mini dealer, but they were too busy to even bother talking to me after I waited an hour at the dealership. On the way home I stumbled on a little place selling used Minis who have worked out an arrangement with an authorized dealer in the midwest. I bypassed the waitlist of the local Mini dealer, plus I didn't have to take their aweful customer service. While I didn't like paying MSRP on a car for the first time, I basically skipped to the front of the line. I understand this place does about 2 to 3 new orders per month, but they aren't able to advertise as they aren't an authorized dealer.   Oh, and as a side note, I was told that 2008 production is wrapping up in 2 weeks. I was offered an '08 model at a $1,000 discount... but went with the '09 anyway.   I can't wait for my Mini, and now I don't have to (as much)!

Replying to: minisg (Aug 13, 2008 9:10 pm) Seems to be huge variance in the amount of mini's available between different urban areas... Big cities are exhibiting exclusivity, small cities want your business.   Our closest "mega" urban area is the Baltimore/Washington area and we're in the market for a Cooper S but the exclusivity (real or not) is a real turn off/salesman have that smug "you'll have to wait" attitude. Talked to somebody in a smaller city and they have plenty on hand, no problems.   We've seen this before, no particular pattern - An Acura TL in a small Pennsylvania town (Apple Acura), they acted like it the sales were out of control when, they were actually somewhat flat and they just didn't want to stock a lot of them, meanwhile in Baltimore, the sales were downright dismal and they had plenty on hand. We negotiated thousands off sticker and got the car down there. Seems like the same thing is happening with Mini's but the small cities have them in stock rather than big cities....

Replying to: ponderpoint (Aug 15, 2008 8:50 am) Geographic too. In So. California we don't have many mini dealers and those that we have are all located in major metro areas. Heck, San Diego doesn't even have a Mini dealership.
