I am ready to order a Mini Cooper S and have received varying "out the door" prices for my configured model at MSRP $24,600. The lowest offer received is $26,094. How much was your deposit to order? Is this negotiable and added towards the out the door price when following through with the purchase? How much does Mini financing charge for GAP insurance? Is this offer good for southern California or should I keep pushing for lower? Thank you in advance for your posts. |

Dear MINIs, I am planning to buy a MINI in NC over this weekend. I have done some research on MINI. It looks like it is very hard to negotiate with the dealors, at least in NC. Up to now, I only got $500 off MSRP. I was also told to pay $400 dealer administrative fee.  The market varies acroos areas? My friend said, I should act like a bully  to talk with the dealer:) Also I was wondering about the difference between a MINI Cooper Base and a Cooper S. Do I really need the S? As a girl, I am not a fan of car racing:)  I would love to hear your suggestion. I am still a little hesitant. This will be my first new car. So it is a big decision to me, definitely. Hope everyone enjoys the Mini trip!

Replying to: ncmini (Jun 08, 2009 11:02 am) . In any case, even if you are dealing with others like Flow, etc they will tell you that there is no negotiation. Don't torture yourself they can either take your offer or you can buy other great cars that are out there. Go to truecar.com and build the car with the specs you are looking for. It will show you based on actual sales that you should be getting at least $1,200 off MSRP. The $400 administrative fee or prep fee is outrageous and around the area most dealers charge $199 to $299. Bank Fees and Tag and Title fees would be extra but also compare to other dealers. Also, probably don't need the S, a Base Mini would be fine since you are not looking at racing around! Good Luck, keep us posted!

Replying to: krager (May 08, 2009 5:48 pm) Sounds like could be wax residual? There is quite a bit of plastic & rubber on the exterior, and any wax will lioghten them up after a bit of time. There are several products available at most retailers (auto parts stores, Wal Mart, etc.) that work great at returning trim to black. One I have used is called Back to Black, and works well.

Replying to: sugarbelly (May 06, 2009 9:51 am) I ended up finding a sweet 2008 Clubman S with just 6500 miles on it. Loaded with leather, Navigation, premium, Convenience, Cold weather and a few other goodies too. It was perfect, so I purchased it. $24K. I'm quite pleased with the car, and the price was good as well. Thanks for the input. |

Love the MINI - but agonizing over which to buy: 2007 mini cooper s convertible with auto, heated seats, CHILI RED, but cloth seats with just 3k miles (checked carfax no problems) for $24.9 OR 2009 mini cooper s convertible with auto, heated seats, PEPPER WHITE which looks a little blah, though adding stripes... and a few other options I don't really want, leatherette for $30k I've always been lectured about BUYING (which I"m doing) a New car due to depreciation once you drive it off the lot, but the used minis I've looked at -with high resale value - are pretty expensive too...opinions?
