Hey all, I'm dealing with a few dealerships in the MD/VA area trying to get a good price. I'm more than likely going to order one because they don't have one in their inventories with what I want. The MSRP is coming too $32,450, then add taxes, tags, title etc. By my calculations the out-the-door price would be around $34,700, they're offering me $34,000. Wanted to get a vibe if I'm getting a good deal. Thanks! |

There are some incredible deals going around for that car - dealers are having hard time selling but apparently VW keeps shipping them. One dealer I went to offered a 3000$ discount on the spot even before negotiations began! I was sorely tempted as the GTi was fun to drive. But I (and more importantly, the wife) wanted a convertible for the SoCal weather. So I am going for the Mini.

Replying to: 2xsubaru (Jul 09, 2009 6:48 am) I'm sure I can get a sick deal on an '09 GTI, but I tend to keep my cars for a while (I've owned my current '01 Honda Prelude Type SH for over 7 years & 113K miles), but the '09 isn't the car I want. Thanks for the tip though. The GTI is going to have to blow me out of the water though. I'm a BMW nut and really dig the MINI (plus it is my 2 1/2 year-old's favorite car) |

Replying to: g0thamite (Jul 21, 2009 9:40 am) Being a BMW nut, I had EXTREMELY high expectations for the MINI. I thought the car was solid & comfortable. The brakes are close to perfect. It is deceptively quick, I found myself doing 75 on an on ramp in 4th gear (I honestly didn't realize). Visibility is very restricted. I found myself looking under the windshield at every red light. Rearward visibility was just OK. The clutch takeup was very abrupt. I found the ride to be too soft & a little isolated. I actually liked the car until I got back into my Prelude. It just has a much better feel for the road. After leaving the MINI dealer, I went to the Acura dealer and test drove a 2010 TSX. I'm pretty sure that's going to be our next car.

I'm looking to buy a 2009 mini clubman s with premium and convenience packages in California very soon.. next week or so. The msrp is between 30,100 - 32,500 for the 2 I am considering. I am relocating from the east coast and want to do the deal before I arrive... I've already test driven and know what I want. I intend to buy it outright - cash in full. Is this at all advantageous for me, buying outright over the phone? Any strategies for getting the price down a bit? (Also CA dealers are doing .9% apr so the cars are kind of selling there...) thanks for any tips...
