#1120 of 1231 Re: 2009 Mini Cooper Sport at $500 UNDER MSRP?? [ltq] by allenkb Oct 20, 2008 (10:36 am)
Replying to: ltq (Oct 20, 2008 9:12 am) Thanks for the input. I'm from Indianapolis area and the only MINI dealership is Dreyer & Reinbold. Is it reasonable to ask them to waive all other dealer fees (if there's any, like doc fee) on top of MSRP (includes dest) ? Replies to this message: ltq (Oct 21, 2008 2:59 pm)
#1121 of 1231 Better service centers? by designgirl25 Oct 21, 2008 (1:35 pm)
I had a great experience buying my Mini Cooper and love the car however, every time i have had to bring it in to the White Plains, NY location for service - no matter how minor (I had two flat tires within two weeks) they make me leave the car ALL day, even with a scheduled appointment. No loaners, just a taxi drop off to one destination and back. This is so inconvenient. I live in the Westchester, NY area and I would like to find a dealership that offers better service (i.e. schedules appointments so that I could wait for service) even if it means a little bit of a drive. I don't want to use the one in White Plains anymore. Has anyone had the same experience I have had and can anyone recommend a service center that they have had good experiences with?

Replying to: allenkb (Oct 20, 2008 10:36 am) Oh, so you're close. I was just in Indy last weekend. Nearest dealer to me - I'm in Louisville - is Cincinnati MINI. Held me back for quite a while to have the nearest dealer 90 mi away. Maybe you want to talk to them as well as Dreyer & Reinbold..... does D&R have a good rep? I know a few folks both here and in Cinci that thinks Cincinnati MINI is pretty good..... I will find out, I guess. As I said, they were straight up MSRP pricing. But it still holds that a demo MIGHT not be a good deal - what you're saying is having them waive the doc fess (about $250?) and dest ($650): I don't know, for about 3% of the price, is it worth it? If we were talking about a Lincoln Navigator or Camry demo, yeah it's only been softly driven. But a MINI ?!?! As stated before, I myself was quite tough on the demo (but I didn't go to D&R, so abused demos there are not my fault !!!)
#1123 of 1231 Finally a MINI club member! by allenkb Oct 22, 2008 (6:37 am)
Finally bought and picked up a brand new 2009 cooper with 6 miles on it before my test drive. It comes with cold weather package, sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, bluetooth and ipod adapter. It's a shame MINI didn't put automatic A/C in it because the sunroof plus multi-func wheel cost the same with premium pac. couldn't figure out why, they don't want to give the auto A/C for free? D&R wouldn't budge even 1 cent, paid MSRP plus all the fees. Thanks for all your input, I think it would work out better if we have time to wait or place our own order, but it's time to forget about the price and enjoy the car!!!
#1124 of 1231 Is this a good deal? by minime23 Oct 24, 2008 (10:04 am)
I'm paying MSRP on a mini cooper that is already in bound I didn't order it. It's supposed to arrive in the 3rd week of November. I'm paying MSRP at 22,300 but with taxes and all other fees it comes out to about 24,447. Is this a good price? The mini comes with the premium and cold weather packages and black bonnet stripes. I checked and it is the exact price it would be if you built it on miniusa.com. Please gimme some feedback.   Thanks!
#1125 of 1231 What dealer-fees are expected by carlover3 Oct 24, 2008 (11:03 am)
Hi minime23 and other current Mini Cooper buyers,  Besides the MSRP of the car ( base + options) and its destination charge, what other dealer-fees are fair/reasonable/expected to buyers today ? I am seeing that different buyers may have paid different dealer-fees depending where they are localed in the US states.   I live in San Jose, CA ( bayarea of CA) and in the market for a 2009 Mini Cooper S purchase. Thanks! CarLover always- MB CLK320 & Miata
#1126 of 1231 Just leased an '09 Cooper S by oldboldpilot Oct 25, 2008 (7:24 am)
I just leased an '09 Cooper S for December delivery with pretty much every available option other than auto trans, from full leather to sunroof to Sirius radio. MSRP was $31,500, plus the $650 delivery charge. Deal was done at MSRP (no additional dealer markup).   Here are the important numbers:   Cap cost reduction: $1500   Money factor (reduced slightly due to BMW "loyalty factor"): .00195   Residual: 72% on a 3-year, 10,000 miles/yr lease (would be 69% on 15,000 miles/yr)   Monthly payment: $370 including tax ($342 before tax)   Dealer was Bob Smith Mini near Los Angeles. Dealt directly with sales manager. Overall very pleasant experience. Can't wait to get the car! Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Oct 25, 2008 10:01 pm) oldboldpilot (Oct 26, 2008 4:42 pm)

Replying to: oldboldpilot (Oct 25, 2008 7:24 am) Did you also pay an acquisition fee or doc fees? Replies to this message: oldboldpilot (Oct 26, 2008 4:42 pm)

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Oct 25, 2008 10:01 pm) Yes, but I don't know exactly what they were at this moment as I don't have the documents handy. The quoted payment includes the fees, however.

Replying to: jennysassouni (Oct 18, 2008 8:02 am) you should think twice about trying to get out of your deal. if the economy was better and demand for coopers was going up, would you be mad and have the right to sue the dealer if he said he was able to get a higher price for your car, so he sold it to someone else? if the answer is yes, then you should honor your deal and pay for the car you ordered notwithstanding the downturn in the ecomony and demand for minis.
