Hi m3ls:
 
I tried to post an earlier post with the dealers phone number and my post was deleted because they don't allow phone numbers at this forum. The dealership is called "Mini of the Hamptons". im not allowed to mention the dealers name as well but look for a guy who is 6'6" who's wife is expecting any day now.
The msrp for my car is 23,685. he sold me the car for 22,500. I made out a check for the full amount.
Best of luck....and let me know what happens.
p.s. it will help a great deal if he thinks that you plan on making the purchase right now.

Thanks, the service guy at Manhattan Mini confirmed there there is going to be a software update in June or July and that he has been getting tons of calls that this is happening. Well my light just turned off again. He said it shouldn't be a problem driving it.
 
also, my steering power went out trying to squeeze into a really tight spot parallel parking (lots of repetitive turning of the streering wheel). This happened to me big time on a test drive of a car on the lot when I parked 3 times in a row. Now it's happened on my onw new Mini. It's not a HUGE deal, but it does sort of suck.

#685 of 1491 GAS MILEAGE? by Mr_Shiftright HOST

May 22, 2007 (5:53 pm)

Anyone who bought a 2007 have any gas mileage to report?
 
I'm thinkin' of getting a 2007 base model, stickshift with premium package and a few more extras.
 
No wiggle room at the dealer so far but I'm still hammerin'.
 
Looked also at the EVO, but gas mileage isn't good at all. (as one might expect for a hi-po car).

Is your mini a stick or auto? How do you rate your driving style?

Stick. Do they make an auto in a Mini?!
 
Driving style = aggressive, many WOT throttle runs per drive, shift over 4k rpm often, always turn on the sport button.

They do now... BMW finally bowed down to popular pressure and made an auto MINI Cooper S. The first three or four years of production did not have a Automatic option

#690 of 1491 How long for delivery? by pharmd718

May 24, 2007 (7:49 pm)

I ordered my 2007 cooper S on May 15th. The dealer said it will take 4 to 6 weeks. Can anyone tell me how long they had to wait till their 07 cooper reached the dealership?

I was kidding. They sold the old model with the CVT which is just a cruddy automatic.

Yeah I know but the Cooper S was always THE performance model MINI and it was not avaliable with an auto for a long time.
