#364 of 1305 That works too by plekto Feb 05, 2006 (11:48 am)
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.

#366 of 1305 Re: Mini in Cincinnati [kyfdx] by bassman4 Mar 05, 2006 (6:02 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 23, 2006 5:06 pm) I just bought a Mini Convertible from the BMW Store in Cincinnati this week. I was very favorably impressed with all aspects of the transaction. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and there were no surprises expect for a $100 "documents" fee, which I gather is on the low end of what has become a common practice. 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!).

#368 of 1305 Used 2004 Mini by mayberryguy Mar 17, 2006 (12:27 pm)
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?

Replying to: mayberryguy (Mar 17, 2006 12:27 pm) Unless you live in Fargo, this price does seem to be well below market value. So you definitely want to probe why this guy is selling his car for a couple thousand less than he could probably get walking onto any number of used car lots. I'd suspect it's got an accident history, perhaps a salvage title.   If you do try and flip this car, watch out for taxes and overhead - depending on the state you live, you may have to pay full sales tax and register the car even if you sell it the next day.   - Mark Replies to this message: mayberryguy (Mar 20, 2006 4:57 pm)
#370 of 1305 Well.. by plekto Mar 19, 2006 (11:40 am)
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.
#371 of 1305 Mark-up by krume Mar 19, 2006 (12:53 pm)
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 Replies to this message: markjenn (Mar 19, 2006 7:50 pm)

Replying to: krume (Mar 19, 2006 12:53 pm) Most of the rest of the country is at MSRP. You can certainly get it at any number of Texas dealers, perhaps one in Arizmon as well.   - Mark

I'd suspect it's got an accident history, perhaps a salvage title.   No accidents or even minor scratches or dings. The car looks brand new inside and out. The guy is one of our Japanese Engineers and has to go back to Japan. He doesn't have much time to try and sell it outside of people he knows at work. This was his wife's car so it didn't get driven much. He just sold his Outback the same way. He even paid for extra oil changes above and beyond the Mini factory intervals.
