#1130 of 1289 Ordered MC UNDER MSRP in northern california by behrens Nov 06, 2008 (2:19 pm)
The market here in Norther California has been really tough. I have been shopping for the last several months and hearing 1500 to 2000 over MSRP to start from the five area dealers. Today I got the deal I was looking for and placed my order for a 09 Chili Red base auto with black roof, mirrors and bonnet stripes. I was able to get a reasonable discount under MSRP with destination charge from Mark Schutten in Sacramento (let them know Dennis sent you)! Mark was great to work with and really the only dealer I found that was actively looking for orders. It should arrive in 8-10 weeks. In addition to government fees(sales tax, title/license, tire) I am paying $55 dealer doc fee. If your car is already ordered you can always ask for a discount or free extras when you go to pick it up. The worst they can say is no. The market is starting to thaw, good luck shopping and happy motoring. Replies to this message: carlover3 (Nov 07, 2008 7:30 pm) behrens (Nov 08, 2008 5:53 pm)

Replying to: behrens (Nov 06, 2008 2:19 pm) Hi behrens , This is very good info to have for Mini buyers. I've also been in the shopping market for a new Mini Cooper S. I live in San Jose (bayarea of CA), and have been hoping to get a discount for under MSRP. I noticed that my local Mini dealerships have been starting calling me (like twice per week) to push me coming in their shop to place a new Mini order. May I ask you how much is the discount you got off the MSRP ? And what is the name of the Sacramento Mini dealership that you ordered from ?  ( is it the Niello Mini dealer ?). I google "Mark Schutten" to look for such a mini dealership but did not find anything related. By the way, what is the tire fee/tax ? Thanks much for your info. Car Lover!

#1132 of 1289 What to do by justgiuls Nov 07, 2008 (7:54 pm)
Hi all. I will probably be ordering my MINI next week! I'm really excited but can't decide if i should go with another car to save something, but i adore the MINI. The dealers here in IL are willing to throw in some accessories for me but keep the car at MSRP. What do you think? Go ahead with it?

Replying to: carlover3 (Nov 07, 2008 7:30 pm) Carlover3, The only mini dealer is Sac. is Niello. I promissed Mark I would not say how much the discount was, however it was substantial and reasonable. The tire fee was $8.50 so I am ignoring it. You can get all the dealer contact info at miniusa.com. Good luck!
#1134 of 1289 MSRP 2008 and 2009 by scottypalmer Nov 08, 2008 (9:43 pm)
Was told by gentleman in so. cal that 2009's were going at $1000 over MSRP. Is this right? Has anyone got a 2009 under MSRP? I have a feeling I should be able to get a 2009 at MSRP...am i right?   Also told that the new 2008 Cooper (base) they still had on the lot was going for MSRP, no less? Is this possible? Need some insight. Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Nov 09, 2008 8:00 pm)

Replying to: scottypalmer (Nov 08, 2008 9:43 pm) At or below. Nothing in so cal (well maybe a GT-R) sells to a sensible buyer for above sticker.

#1138 of 1289 2009 Mini clubman S Lease by martint Nov 13, 2008 (11:45 pm)
I just ordered a clubman S from Bob Smith Mini near Los Angeles to lease. $1700 drive off, 67% residual 10K miles a year. Price was MSRP $24,700, $351 a month including tax. I thought it was reasonable.    Before I ordered I went to Universal Mini. Told them what I wanted. They came back with.....get ready for this.....$3000 markup,$1000 lojack, $300 for nitrogen for tires, $5300 drive off and $461 a month!!!! That is a difference of around $12,000 on a $24,700 car!! When I told them of the deal I had at Bob Smith they came back with almost same deal as Bob Smith except payment was $363/month. They dropped all the other markups and charges. I think we know what dealer to stay away from.
#1139 of 1289 MSRP in Pacific Northwest by gadfly3 Nov 16, 2008 (9:22 am)
I'm interested in a Mini but whenever I go look at the NWMINI site's inventory there is nothing short of $26K ranging up to $41k. Can you get a Mini Convertible (s or not) in the Northwest for anything like MSRP?   regards, Adam Replies to this message: jeremyl (Jan 15, 2009 2:19 pm)
