I live in the Chicago South Suburbs and I am waiting on a Clubman that I purchased mid-September. Ordered thru Bill Jacobs Mini/BMW in Naperville. Seams like a good dealership. People weren't bad to deal with. However, I have left a few messages recently with the salesperson to check-in and have not rec'd a call back. A little frustrating.

Buying a New MINI by allenkb

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!!!

You do not say where you are at, but to me that is NOT a good deal.
 
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!

2009 Mini Cooper Sport at $500 UNDER MSRP?? by jennysassouni

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!

I am able to get an offer for MSRP w/o any additional fee, but I didn't jump on the deal. With the current economy, I am waiting for them to offer $1K below MSRP.

Hi kwma, does your offered MSRP include the destination fee? You said w/o any additional fee so I'm not sure whether the dest is included or not. From what I heard the dest fee is something you have to pay, it's also in the MSRP suggested by miniusa.com. I'm kind of in in a bad shape because we need a new car in a week. We looked through several makes (honda, nissan, vw, mazda) but wife only want a MINI. Just like kwma said we probably can get a better price if we can afford to hold on because of the economy. But we can't. It's even worse that we have only one MINI dealership in town. If I can get them waive the dest and other fees I''ll jump in a heartbeat. I'd appreciate if anyone could give me any negotiation tips. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The price does include destination charge. Basically the amount you see on miniusa.com when you configure the car + your local tax and licensing fee. Good luck!

I believe someone else asked you about your LOCATION - can't help much without that info. I just bought a Clubman S from Cincinnati MINI, and there, they sell the cars MSRP, e.g. as shown at the website (so that includes destination). Period. In fact, while I was signing my paperwork, the dealer stated that they just finished selling to two folks in CA, due to high markups on the west coast.
No negotiating. I thought MSRP was fair, didn't expect any discount. It was fast, simple, and low-stress.
