Replying to: minispeedracer (May 24, 2006 2:49 pm) We contacted several out of state dealers - one in OR sells at list but has a 9 month waiting list. One in MN would sell at list with a 2 month wait but after weighing the hassles of driving or shipping, etc., the Sacramento dealer made sense. We really love the MINI and the whole buying experience was a pleasure. |

Hi, I am looking at buying a Mini in NC. I just started looking. I have been in contact via email to Flow Mini. Has anyone had any experience with them. Any suggestions about purchasing/dealing?? I drove a mini in Germany on the Autobahn and have been in love ever since. |

Just curious, maybe that's 'dealer's cost'?  Do you have a source you can reveal? I see many competitive systems using GPS you can install yourself, and track it with your own PC or laptop, Most of those are around $200. |

Replying to: markjenn (May 26, 2006 9:16 am) I also live in Washington State. I just visited the Mini dealer in Tacoma area, and they want $595 over MSRP. Plus they told me it's going to be a 15 month wait now!!  Also, I was told it'll be a 2007 turbo charged motor in the Mini S (I'm not too keen on turbos). Who did you talk to in TX and what city? Did you get any freebie add-ons (floor mats, arm rest, cup holder, etc.)? I didn't think about checking with a dealer in TX. Do they import them directly there from the Gulf? How many miles is that? I might be able to handle a drive home if it's not too much over 1,500 miles or so... Can someone lead me to a reasonable Mini Dealer with a reasonable waiting time (hopefully 2 months or less)? I'd like to order a new 2006, but I don't want to wait over a year to get it (not to mention pay extra). I've talked with a dealer on the east coast. They offered MSRP and a two month wait, but that's a 3000 mile drive back to home. Any advice out there? Thanks, Brenda |

Replying to: bfromhold (Jul 04, 2006 3:13 pm) If you don't want one of the new models, here's an article discussing the timelines for ordering the old model. It appears that since the new model won't be coming stateside until early 2007, there might be a couple more months to get an order in for the old model. http://motoringfile.com/2006/06/13/2006-model-year-ordering-details/ If I was in the market now, I'd probably wait a few months and see what the scoop is on the new model. The turbo wouldn't bother me (especially if it improves on the abysmal gas mileage of the supercharged engine), but the first-year unreliabilities of a new model from BMW would. I think the best time to get the new model would be a 2008 model in the fall of 2007. If I were to get a new one, that's when I'd be targeting to buy a car. - Mark |
