I am very close to order/buy a new Cooper S. I live in San Jose/CA. I like to know if anyone has been able to order a new 09' Cooper S for MSRP or even lower than MSP in the BayArea ( due to the recent economy recession and uncertainty of near-future economy, etc.). If you were able to do that, please advise which Mini dealership offered the deal and under what conditions for the dealership to do such transaction. And how would you compare the deal/negotiations possible between an 09' Cooper S and an 08' Cooper S ? Thanks! Mini Lover ( near future!) |

I am debating 50/50 if I want to get the Sunroof/Moonroof option. What's holding me back from getting this option is that there is a screen (and it slides I think) under the roof/glass, not a solid piece blocking the total sunlight from the driver. A couple things about the screen instead of a solid piece: - does it cause the unacceptable heat in the car on a high-temperature day ( like 75 degrees or above). I live in San Jose (South Bay Area of CA) ? - does it bother the driver occasionally/frequently because the constant sunlight coming the glass/roof into the car ? or that through-light is minimal enough that it does not bother driver on most Sunny days. Please give some advice- Thanks much! Mini Lover ( near future!) |

Hi Guys I'm in the market for a new MINI. Unfortunately, there's only one local MINI dealership in my area. They have a 2008 demo left with 1,500 mileage. It comes with premium, sport, cold weather packages, and some other minor features. MSRP+Dest 24,450, and the dealer is giving a 750 discount. Is this a fair price for the car? I'm a little concerned about the demo. If I want to negotiate, what will be a good start point? Thanks!!!

Replying to: allenkb (Oct 15, 2008 7:44 am) I would never buy a demo without a serious discount AND a free extended warranty built in. You know that that car has been "pushed" and did not have a nice easy break in. As a point of reference, I ordered a 2009 MCS for $500 under MSRP. If you are looking for a deal, and want to negotiate on the demo, then I would be looking for 2K off MSRP plus the free extended warranty. Then I'd try to get free extended maintenance too. Good luck!

Hi Allen (or anyone who's gotten a deal on a 2009 Mini Cooper Sport for under MSRP). I ordered my Mini a few months ago and was able to negotiate MSRP plus $500 dealer fee. It's supposed to be arriving in a few weeks but I don't believe I am locked into it. I would love to know where/which dealership negotiated BELOW MSRP... given the current economy/recession, I am thinking I am getting hosed by paying full MSRP plus any sort of dealer fee, even though a few months ago when I ordered it was nearly impossible to get any dealers to budge on dealer fee lower than $1000. Now, I am wondering if I can negotiate further, or if I should just go for a different car as there are so many deals out there with other brands... Advice anyone? Thanks!
