Thanks!
What are the small issues?
Did you buy or lease? What colors?

I bought a 09 Cooper S Cabrio - Chilli Red, Checkered Black interior, with Sports and Cold weather pakcage, Sports suspension, Multifunction steering wheel, Auto AC and a few other interior options.
 
Issues are really small - a bit of rattle/hum from behind the driver's side door. It doesn't happen always and IMO caused by a combination of the stiffer sports suspension and bad roads where I live. Haven't taken it to the dealership yet. No other problems and 700 miles of happy driving (>13hours open top )

Did you find someone to purchase the Mini from in the SF area? I'm finding it difficult to get down from sticker price....
Thanks

Hey! I don't know if you've already purchased your MINI, but we are selling our 2008 Clubman S with the convenience, premium, sport, and cold weather packages. It's the Hot Chocolate color with the dual sunroof and tan leather interior and chrome accents. We are in Pittsburgh, PA. Car is perfect, nothing wrong! 15,500 miles. It's like it's brand new. Feel free to let me know if you are interested. It's listed on AutoTrader.com.

Made the following deal yesterday:
 
2009 Cooper
Yellow Mellow Color
6 speed
Convenience Pkg
Premium Pkg
Cold Weather pkg
Sports pkg
Xenon Lights
Mini Hi Fi
Piano Black Interior Surface
 
MSRP 24950
Invoice 22702
Selling Price 23875 plus tax, title, delaer fee
Also included "free" mirrors and sunroof graphics valued at about $450.00 so ends up being MSRP 25400 and selling price 23875.
 
Judging from my prior experience of MSRP only, this is not too bad. Dealer initially offered MSRP plus $600 in "free" accessories; Ended up more like $1075 off MSRP plus $450 in "free" accessories.
 
At the end I am happy, but wanted to share what is ou there. Car actually will be ordered - one of the last remaning 2009 production spots they say.

I tried the Mountain View dealership in SF bay area, but they only offered MSRP. Has anyone tried negotiating at Pleasanton or SF?

I dealt with New Country Mini in Hartford, CT
 
Since car is being built and will likely be delivered in September, one can't lock in the current low financing rates since they are only valid through 8/31. Experience tells me rates will still be there next month too, but at this point it is a little bit of "who knows." Hopefully I will get that 1.9%

Despite being completely stripped, it is quite well equipped. What more do you need? Pretty sweet deal in my book. Find a used MINI at this price. I'm loving it.

My car has arrived; but still need to negotiate by minooka

I think the base was ~26K (S with sunroof package and the $&(** arm rest that isn't included but is a good think with a manual trans).
 
Is ~1000K reasonable to ask them to knock off the MSRP?
 
I'll buy via their financing so the % rate is locked in.
 
Any other areas I can get them to knock some $$ off?
 
No trade in (and I wouldn't negotiate it with the purchase deal).
 
I'm going to ask the sales man to write up the contract and send it to me so I'm not wasting a Saturday looking at the finance person and listening to their pitch. Yawn!
