#1172 of 1290 Re: The eternal question ... 91 or 89 gas? [Don_C] by blueguydotcom Jan 21, 2009 (8:07 pm)
Replying to: Don_C (Jan 21, 2009 2:24 pm) Yes, you can use 87. The engine will produce even less power (the ecu will retard the car's power so you don't damage the engine) and it will be less efficient. With gas so cheap, i can't fathom why people would buy a car and then worry about $3 a fill-up. If $150 a year makes that much difference, maybe a new car isn't the best economic choice?   I fill up my Cooper S 3 times a month. Always with premium. Then again, I find the power in my Cooper S to be adequate - but I push it to 4-5k rpm on most shifts. I would notice less HP.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jan 21, 2009 8:07 pm) First refill ... just over 33 mpg which includes 100 miles of straight highway driving at varying speeds (break in recommendation) and the rest commuting with some highway speeds and some slow traffic.   Filled with 91.

#1175 of 1290 Discount For Factory Order? by bpraxis Jan 26, 2009 (9:42 am)
Hello everyone and I hope that you are having a great day.     I am interested in ordering a new 2009 base Cooper that would have an MSRP of approximately $20,050.00.     The best discount that I have been offered for a factory order is $330.00 inclusive of all dealer fees.     Is this the going market price given the current market environment and what should I expect?     I live far away from the closest dealership and am concerned about potential problems. How reliable is the Mini?     With appreciation and kind regards,

Replying to: whiskerychief (Nov 11, 2008 12:10 pm) I've done a lot of research on the Mini and it appears that you are getting a pretty good deal. I was offered 250 off the msrp and 125 floor mats.

#1179 of 1290 Scams all over the internet by keygo Feb 09, 2009 (7:54 am)
I am afraid I ran into a scam yesterday. My daughter is looking for her first car and found one on line by a private seller that was too good to be true. Well, when we contacted the seller, we got a story about putting half the money in Yahoo Auto and the car would be sent to us with us having 3 days to take it to a mechanic before the sale was completed. It didn't seem right so my wife got on line and found the exact same thing happens all the time except no car shows up and the down payment is gone. Needless to say, we went no further. Armed with this new outlook, we quickly foundseveral other Mini's that appear to be in the same category. Lesson to my daughter, if it seems to good to be true it may well be too good to be true. Oh well, back to looking and saving. Replies to this message: wilemakeit (Feb 09, 2009 6:06 pm)
#1180 of 1290 Re: Considering a dealer 200 miles away [Don_C] by linders Feb 09, 2009 (5:29 pm)
Replying to: Don_C (Jan 17, 2009 8:37 am) I purchased a 06 cooper conv. in March of 08. The closest dealer is about 2 hours away in Indianapolis. I took my car there for warranty work and the service was great. I asked for a loaner car and they had a car rental company bring a car to me. When my car was finished, it was washed and vacumed. Appointments are made on line. Great service.
