#205 of 1096 Re:no depreciation?.. [reuel3] by ensane Apr 22, 2005 (2:55 pm)
Replying to: reuel3 (Apr 17, 2005 5:21 pm) I just ordered a Mini Cooper.   - Blue - Sport Package - White Bonnet Stripes - Luggage Rack - Foot Rest (hehe) - Cruise Control Steering Wheel   MSRP was 20,040.......and thet is what the Mini dealer in Portland, OR sold it to me for. Of course there is a dealership fee of 175 (which includes floor mats, detailing, and a full tank o'petrol) and title and lisence fees of about 390 (which covers 4 years)   I am pleased , I should take delivery in late July - early August.   Murff Replies to this message: rhymuse (Apr 25, 2005 8:38 am)

Replying to: pamiami (Apr 22, 2005 9:59 am) Personally I would avoid it, but I know many people don't think twice about doing it. If you have to do it, I would try to vary the speed as much as possible, with more rest stops. ie. don't cruise for hours at a constant speed.

Replying to: ensane (Apr 22, 2005 2:55 pm) I too am in Portland, OR and am seriously considering making an appointment with the MINI dealer here. Glad to hear about getting yours MSRP - overall, would you say your experience was a good one? Any suggestions/tips? Also, did the dealer indicate that delivery time was pretty standard? Seems so long when one falls in love with the car!
#208 of 1096 Going for a Mini in Orlando/Tampa area by glavinsolo Apr 25, 2005 (9:14 am)
Anyone purchase a Mini in this area?   I am concerened I won't get it at MSRP. Is it possible they sell the coupes at MSRP and not the convertibles?   Anyways here is what I want.   Mini Cooper Convertible -non S Automatic Front/Rear Fogs Premium Package Green   MSRP from my calculations is $24,900 which includes Destination.   When do the 2006 models arrive?   -Glavin Replies to this message: rpcv (Apr 25, 2005 10:19 am) kapoor (May 21, 2005 8:29 pm) sitcur (May 22, 2005 10:37 pm) dlefont (May 25, 2005 6:14 pm)

Replying to: glavinsolo (Apr 25, 2005 9:14 am) I have not purchased one yet, but I was just at the dealership in Palm Harbor and I they have a bunch of new convertibles (non S models and there was a green one) that I believe they sell at MSRP.
#210 of 1096 Re: MCS/Convertible Lease - Feedback Please! [akitadog] by andrew_fm Apr 25, 2005 (1:25 pm)
Replying to: akitadog (Apr 19, 2005 3:53 pm) Has anyone heard of major changes to the 2006 MCS?   I'm ready to order one but can muster the patience for a 2006 model when they begin taking orders. Has anyone had any luck pricing an ordered MCS around to multiple dealers? I can fly most anywhere lower 48 to pick one up if the savings are significant. The Dallas dealers are sticking to MSRP with no negotiations on anything. Replies to this message: crunch (Apr 25, 2005 3:24 pm) rjoy (Apr 26, 2005 2:34 pm) akitadog (Apr 26, 2005 8:48 pm)

Replying to: andrew_fm (Apr 25, 2005 1:25 pm) Good Luck, I'm not aware of anyone selling for less than MSRP.
#212 of 1096 2006 MCS changes by rjoy Apr 26, 2005 (2:34 pm)
Replying to: andrew_fm (Apr 25, 2005 1:25 pm) They say that MINI plans to introduce the new "Peugeot turbo" engine in fall 2005. This would qualify as a major change. New wrinkles to iron out, eh?   "BMW has, however, released details of the new generation of MINI engines. On the way initially are two petrol units: a normally-aspirated 1.6-litre with variable valve timing (115bhp) and a turbo-charged direct-injection 1.6-litre (143bhp) .   The new engines are expected to make their debut for the 2006 model-year (cars built from autumn 2005), though the all-new body Mk2 MINI range is not due until 2007. This is said to include roadster and station wagon variants as well as hatchbacks and cabriolets, and will have revised suspension and slightly-tweaked front-end styling.

Replying to: rjoy (Apr 26, 2005 2:34 pm) Rjoy, where did you get your quote from? If it's true, I had a feeling that BMW would do this kind of thing, introducing the new engine before the new body style. They tend to do that kind of thing with their own marque. It makes me glad that I ordered my MCS a week ago, to be sure I got the Tritec engine.
#214 of 1096 New Engine not do until 2007 m.y. by rayt2 Apr 27, 2005 (9:05 am)
Mini is not introducing the Peugeot engine until 2007. It is considering two turbo charger versions for both Cooper and "S". The Cooper will also be available in base 115 h.p as is now. See link below.   http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102232   rjoy if you have seen another article to the contrary copy and paste the link for all to read. I have seen nothing more than the Autoweek article on the new generation Mini.   Ray T.
