Good for you. The factory paint is in fact superior to ANY aftermarket paint short of something in the $5000+ range, and has a nice clearcoat already. So that part was their scamming you, most definately. $115 for the PDI - again, stupid fees. Doing normal business is well, part of doing business. You don't pay extra at the grocery store for the bags, afterall. $399 for doc fees is high. It should be $199 or close to it. Consider that they are already making 2-3K on the car thanks to selling it at MSRP and their hefty holdbacks and so on, IMO, you were right to start looking for another dealer. They have enough room to easily sell it to you for MSRP including all those fees if they desired. |

| If you can get them to throw in a bunch of extras like some aux gauges, mp3 adaptor jack, or upgrade to alloys or whatnot, since that's about 50% profit for them, that might also be a way to haggle those fees away. | |

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 23, 2006 5:06 pm) The only car equipped the way I wanted was the demo (only two options). I took that at MSRP; they agreed to throw-in an armrest, which I really wanted. I originally thought of getting the "S", but the base model with the five-speed manual transmission has all the power I need, and is great fun to drive. So far it runs like a dream and I get lots of looks. I feel as though I'll get excellent service there as well (but I'm hoping I won't be needing much!). |

I work with a guy that is selling his '04 Mini Cooper with the CVT with 16,500 miles for $11,000. It is red w/white top, no other options. He has had all service performed by dealer and is up to date on all required services and oil changes. I've been looking at estimated values and can't believe how good this deal is. I am think about buying to make a quick sale in a couple of months. Is this deal too good to be true or not?

| It's a fair price. When the new body Coopers come out next fall, the previous generation will drop to normal pricing levels - which is going to be a nightmare for many owners. The car is entirely driven by status and image - so older generartions are well, just cars. | |

I just went to the San Francisco Mini dealer on an 06 S coupe with Premium package & leather seats - the best they would do is $2000 over list - that seems crazy. I have seen posts here that people are finding Mini's at list in other parts of the country. Anyone getting list or closer in California? I don't mind a drive to get a good deal. Thanks, Joe
