I believe it is fine to give the name of the dealership - just not specific Motoring Advisors - on this board. |

As stated at the top of the discussion: You may include the dealership name and city/state where you purchased, but NO direct links to the dealership site. Also, please do not post salespeople names, phone numbers or email contact information. |

I ordered a 2004 MCS in Oct from Moritz Mini in Arlington Texas. I took delivery about 3 weeks ago. MSRP. With one minor exception (occasional tardiness answering email), the entire process went smoothly. With 3K miles, the car has a slow driver's window lift - otherwise, no problems whatsoever. - Mark |

was amazed that they had quite few there. 6 in the show room(1 italian job edition(?)), 4 new outside for sale, and 3 demos. the there was a white board on the show room with prices listed. they seemed to be msrp. did see 'paint protection' for about $500 on at least one of the cars in the showroom. my wife and 1 of the kids went for a pretty long test drive. i kept away. |

| Thanks to Mark, I got in touch with Moritz Mini in Arlington, Tx. Ordered an electric blue S, sport pkg., leather, multifuntion wheel. I got in on their January alotment for an early March delivery. We will fly in, tour the midwest and drive home. | |

Bikerider1, it sounds like our cars are similar; mine was a MCS, EB/EB, sport (summer tires), cold wx, lapis blue leather, anthracite, and MFSW. They'll give you a prod number shortly and you can start the serious waiting game, including tracking it on the boat. Everything went about as I expected and it arrived when they said, although I was prepared for delays. - Mark |

Has anyone cross-shopped these two Dallas area dealers and found either a better deal or had a better/worse experience at one versus the other? I've almost got the wife sold...

I liked Mortiz fine, but know nothing about Roberts. Still don't think anybody is doing any deals below MSRP, but never hurts to try. Good luck, - Mark

I began to look at Mini's the day John Roberts opened their doors. I picked one out and turned in a credit application. My credit was marginal. They never called me back. I pursued them for two months with no return calls. Exhausted I chose out of Mini for the time being. Yesterday I took delivery of a sweet "S" from Moritz. Not only did they get financing they continued the search for a better deal before I arrived to sign the papers. They shocked me when they said they found a 4% lower rate. What a bonus! I double checked with Roberts one more time for grins and the salesman proudly announced they get $2000.00 over MSRP. I said, "Get a room, enjoy yourself" Will never set foot in Roberts door again. The Dallas prissy short skirt power broker mentality is offensive. Moritz/Mr. Burres are stellar! |

| Thanks for the helpful insight. I was afraid that might be the case already. It's good to get some direct feedback since I'm not from the immediate area and will be limited on time when I do roll into town with my Mini plan in hand! | |
