Replying to: nyccarguy (Jun 08, 2007 6:01 pm) pepper white mini cooper S 6 speed stick shift DSC - $500 LSD - $500 Chrome line interior - $200 Cream white color line - $200 Multi function steering wheel - $350 floor mats back and front - $85 Total MSRP = $23,685 Price paid = $22,500 The Hamptoms looked like a ghost town when I went. It was in the middle of the week and the dealership looked very quite and empty. There was no one else at the dealership making a purchase and they had over 50 mini's on the lot. Both Hassel mini and the NJ mini dealership said that the most they were willing to take off the MSRP was $300. Seems like they all agreed on this number (except for mini of the Hamptons). I will pick up the car in 3 days (my next day off from work).

Replying to: gr8images (Jun 10, 2007 6:24 am) I'm in NYC on the upper west side and in the past few months have started to notice Mini's EVERYWHERE. Like on any given block there is probably 1 or 2 parked...sometimes more. I'm LOVING mine. My average speed in NYC is 19 mph and the average gas mileage in the city appears to be 24 mpg. SO FABULOUS for parking and lots of people talk to me about my car. my 'check engine' light hasn't seem to come on again in about 3 weeks, which is good. |

Replying to: gr8images (Jun 09, 2007 4:51 pm) I can almost buy one for that. Now, it's for 60 months of course, but I could sell the Mini at any time after 6 months and actually get all of my money back. See, you own the Mini and can resell it in two years for $20-22K in a heartbeat. That effectively makes your cost to own something like $150 a month($100 a month for a base model)! Also, you don't need gap insurance with a Mini, either, or can drop it after six months as you'll be right-side-up on your loan by then. Now, if it was a $200 or more difference in payment, leasing might be an oiption, but we're talking $50 more per month out of your pocket to own and drive as many miles as you want and/or use it like you want. It's high on my list because of this, in fact. I can buy it and resell it almost like putting money into a savings account($100 a month to the car, $300 a month into savings in effect). As far as I know, no other non-exotic car has this lack of depreciation, which is why it works.
