My new Mini Clubman is coming in next week and the dealer is charging me MSRP and $600 doc fee. I live in FL. Is that a fee that people are paying? Have others been able to lower that fee.

Replying to: fata (Aug 22, 2008 6:12 pm) Welcome to Florida. In this state, "doc fees" are not regulated so the dealers can charge whatever they want. On some vehicle purchases I've been able to negotiate the purchase price accordingly, but the invoice will always have it pre-printed. There excuse is that if they waive the fee for me, the next minority will sue them for charging it. But on a hot seller such as the Mini, you can try to negoitiate, but I doubt you'll have much luck. Florida, in particular Orlando, is fast becoming a snake pit, so wear gloves and be sure to shower after the negotiations. |

tell him to keep the car and drive to pa and get one. you will have the fun of driving it back and save the 600.00

My friend and I are both in the market for a MINI S and MINI Clubman S. What price are people getting in the bay area? Dealer/Salesperson recommendation is welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice on the doc fees. At least I'm not the only one that's paying that ridiculous fee. I thought about asking them to discount the fee or else I'll go with my bank's financing. Not sure if it will work but it's worth a try. I live in Tampa and there's only the one in Palm Harbor and it was at least an hour wait before a sales person could help me. He told me right away that they don't discount cars so it's full sticker and that at least they don't have other adds on like the dealership in Orlando.

Whats the warranty on Tranny and clutch or plate. Also, the Mini is not a snow car,no way. TY my friends

| If I were able to pay for a Mini S with cash, how much money would that save me? Could I walk in with 3-5K less than listed and walk out with my Mini?? | |
