Discount For Factory Order? by bpraxis

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,

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.

Scams all over the internet by keygo

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.

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.

buying a MINI by krager

I have found the car that I want and the MSRP is 23,800. When I asked what the dealership was willing to do on this car, the salesman asked me what I would be comfortable with. Somewhere on this site I had read that if I could get $1000 off MSRP it would be a good deal so I asked for $1000 off. He did not bat any eye. Was this a good deal or should I hold out for more.

I've been following this forum for awhile, as I'm going to lease a new Mini next month, and the best I've heard is $1000 off MSRP. If the dealer didn't bat an eye - can I ask where you're located? Fingers crossed you're somewhere in CA so I can use the dealer too!
 
Either way, if the dealer was okay, I'd either ask for more off, or for something else to be thrown in complimentary, like floor mats are something.
