ne problem (maybe): I didn't remove the Blue gov't consumer sticker. By law, I think the buyer is supposed to remove it. I want it for my files. (OK. I've been called worse names over things like this)
You mean the Monrone label or window sticker? The detail dept always takes that off first and usually folds it up in the owners manual.
As for the service contract you can always call and cancel it if you don't like it.

Doesn't the MINI have the same included maintenance as BMWs (albeit for 3yr/36K)? How much did you pay for the maintenance contract?

They will go as low as anyone is willing to take. They are trying to make money by giving the minimum possible for a trade in.
If people are taking less than KBB lists, then they will give less.

No sure about what BMW's have. This maintenance agr was $1500 and maintenance req say nothing about clutch, as indicated by finance guy. Without that, it just doesn't seem like $1500 for basically rotors and plugs is worth it.

True, but at that point I didn't have access to the owner section of miniusa.com. (and didn't think I needed to open the computer)

Followup: The dealer quickly located it and provided it to me with apologies. Nice guys again. I have to give the sales crew an 8 of 10: I guess with every other new car purchase(6)there's always been something that they tried to squeeze. The only reason I can't give this dealer a 10 was b/c of the finance guy's (mis)guidance. That all said, this was a (mostly) cash deal, not a lease. $26650 +tx & lic & fees, MCS, 6-spd, w/Sport, Hi-Fi, LDS, Cloth & Color line, Auto AC, rear fogs, white turn sig, Auto dim mirror. No nitrogen air in tires and no dealer added alarm. Not exactly what I wanted, but I'm happy  .

The $1500 must be some sort of extended warranty, or maybe an extended maintenance contract...
Either way, I'd pass.. Clutch wear isn't covered by warranty or maintenance, unless there is an manufacturer's defect. I'd bet that $1500 contract doesn't include it, either..
Good luck!
