#819 of 1077 Re: 2007 MCS from Mini of Universal City, CA [british_rover] by motoron Jul 19, 2007 (11:58 pm)
Replying to: british_rover (Jul 17, 2007 7:12 am) 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 .

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! kyfdx

Replying to: socalfem (Jul 19, 2007 11:41 pm) KBB is just a guide.. Most dealers go by Manheim auction reports, which they can access on-line. Plus, every used car is different.... Different mileage, options, wear and tear.. Pricing is more of an art, than a science.   If you want a good idea of what your car is worth, post a description of it, here: Real-World Trade-In Values   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: cfilkins (Jul 15, 2007 9:25 am) We all pay sticker price in Phoenix after being quoted premium prices in Vegas and SoCal. The dealer here won't even throw in floor mats but we do get a free meal once a year on them in conjunction with our dealer sponsored rally.

Bone stock (except for having factory wheels chrome plated) 9800 Actual Miles $23542.32 out the door (May '03)   Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Jul 20, 2007 9:29 am)

Replying to: motoron (Jul 16, 2007 8:54 pm) SO great to hear that you had a good experience with Universal! I'm getting ready to buy a MINI from them this week (hopefully tomorrow)! A friend of mine had a bad experience with them last year and recommended the one on Alameda Ave. in L.A. However, because of the time and traffic the other day, I decided to head over to Universal, which was closer.   GENERAL QUESTION: Has anybody/everyone received fun gifts from MINI upon their purchase? haha...my friend did, and I just didn't know if that was specific to the dealership she went to, or if it's a MINI-thing.

#827 of 1077 Money Factor on my lease by backstep222 Jul 23, 2007 (4:59 pm)
Still have plenty of time before my Mini is going to be delivered and have done more research now in regards to my lease terms. I have now found out that my "money factor" is going to be .00335 which translates to an 8.04% interest rate. My credit score is 841 which is extremely high. Is there anyone out there who is knowlegeable in these matters and can tell me whether or not I am getting hosed here. It seems like a high rate. Any opinions??

Replying to: backstep222 (Jul 23, 2007 4:59 pm) with a high credit score, why not just get the car and a 5% loan. You'll save money and avoid BMW's lease acquisition and disposal cost.
