Hello, thanks a lot for your reply and advise. Basically, I agree with your opinion on the CWP and gas issues. I don't real need the heated seats, but heated mirrors will be a very good option for me. Looks like HMs are not available alone, only in the CWP. I am commuting mostly on the pretty flat highway with a medium traffic. The distance and gas are only an issue for me at this time.

Assume MSRP. Anything more is too much. Anything less, good job.

In Florida? The dealers there have some crazy document fees... $399... all the way up to $799..
 
Just consider it part of the selling price.. That said, if every MINI dealer in Florida is adding that to the MSRP, then you may have to go out of state to get a better deal.

You appear to be right on. I have one quote of 350 and 3 hours away on the left coast it's 650. I can't figure it out !

I live in Ct. but bought across the border in RI. I ordered my MCS Saturday but before signing I told them to wright everything down...my out the door price. I was not going to pay for anything other than document fees. No vin etching, paint sealant, undercoating, dealer prep, etc. They were good and my paperwork fees were $95. He did balk at giving me front and boot mats but I was ready to walk, even over such a little thing.

Deciding between Cooper S and Cooper by goody39

Hi -
 
First time MINI leasee here. I was wondering what I should expect between the Cooper and Cooper S? I drove them both in the city and didn't feel too much of a difference.
 
You guys/girls seem to know what you are talking about, could you please provide some insight?
 
Thanks,
Jason

You didn't feel much of a difference? Well, if you can't feel the horsepower difference, then go with the car you like most. There's no reason to opt for an S if you do not see value in the turbo.
 
I've been given the standard cooper twice while my 07 is in the shop (non-maintenance issues) and both times I felt like the Cooper was decent. I couldn't live with it but then again, at times my Cooper S feels underpowered.
 
Driving style and what you desire in the car will probably decide which car you'll decide to buy/lease.

Hi Jason,
 
I have one of the previous post and I said the same thing when I test drove them three weeks ago. I decided to go back and drive them again but to drive them harder such as the on-ramp to the highway and passing. I did feel a difference when comparing them in that fashion so I ordered the "S". I"m sure the non turbo would have been fine but with the bonnet stripes that I wanted to get I though that I would want a little more go than just show.

color choices vs. whats inside by bijoubaby05
Dec 13, 2007 (4:55 pm)
Reply
unfortunately, i am stuck btw two available cars and i cannot decide.
 
my choice is btw
 
Black 2007 MCS xenon lights and arm rest automatic
 
vs.
 
Real Silver 2007 MCS only sunroof automatic
 
which one is the best for me? i am 24 grad student, working and studying in los angeles. ive read and responded to the sunroof complaints. are they legit? should i just get the black color... but my fear is that the car is small, the black will make it a target for bad drivers in parking lots because they cannot easily spot the vehicle parked?
 
i would option out for the silver. in the perfect world, my car would have a comfort package but alas, unless i built it what i want is not available to me.
 
should i just settle for the black? anyone on this board have an all black mini S and have opinions, i am open to hear them.
 
thanks!
 
im going car shopping tomorrow night. i am eager and excited but unsure.
