I just bought a Coupe - excellent vehicle! Just some thoughts on dealer add options: iPod integration - For $580 (last year this was $300) the functionality is slightly above first gen iPod players (i.e., only does playlists, acts like a CD player - ughh). Oh yeah, despite 'being new', it doesn't support the iPhone. Use the free aux input and your iPod/iPhone interface. Bluetooth/Nav. Real surprise here - For $850 I thought I was getting bluetooth integrated into the car audio (like my '06 Volvo - for $600 there.) Nope - go figure. Instead you get a 3" by 3" box - last years Garmin, retails for $499 (i.e., not up-to-date on current features.) Live and learn. i.e., steer clear of these options or, at least be knowledgeable. (Dealer was Mini of Peabody - but I'm sure all push for these high-profit items...) |

Replying to: zkaudio (Jan 19, 2008 3:55 pm) all the 08's will be at msrp if not a bit more for a few months after arrival dated for february. i'd watch out for dealers who try to rob u blind, i encountered that a lot while i was car shopping. try mini of long beach. thats where i got my car and i couldn't be happier. salesman named junior. he was easy to work with and dont take no for an answer until u get the price u want. so, what do u want?

| I had purchased an '08 Yellow MCS from Morristown Mini in NJ. While there was some mis-communication and confusion, they went out of their way to clear it for me. I got Premium package, Cold weather package and Multi-function steering wheel. Total with Documentation fee ($350), delivery and registration was $25422. I put the deposit on Saturday and drove the car out Monday. Not too bad, I guess | |

Replying to: bijoubaby05 (Jan 21, 2008 10:13 am) -Automatic Transmission -Cold Weather Package -Multifunction Steering Wheel -Comfort Access -15k miles / yr Trying to do all that on a 24mo lease at 400 or less / mo w/ 1500 down. With the lease that high (relative to msrp) I could probably finance for 60 mo w/ same payment at 4.9%"> Seems fair for a car under 30k... seeing as how I can get many a luxury compact with msrp in the 40s for 2k down 400/mo

Can anyone tell me who the best MINI dealer is in the NYC Metro Area or Tri-State Area? Best is defined as good selection, low pressure sales, excellent customer service and willingness to negotiate
