#1261 of 1309 My car has arrived; but still need to negotiate by minooka Aug 26, 2009 (8:44 am)
I think the base was ~26K (S with sunroof package and the $&(** arm rest that isn't included but is a good think with a manual trans).   Is ~1000K reasonable to ask them to knock off the MSRP?   I'll buy via their financing so the % rate is locked in.   Any other areas I can get them to knock some $$ off?   No trade in (and I wouldn't negotiate it with the purchase deal).   I'm going to ask the sales man to write up the contract and send it to me so I'm not wasting a Saturday looking at the finance person and listening to their pitch. Yawn!
#1262 of 1309 Mini prices? 2010? by mmea Sep 06, 2009 (3:43 pm)
Hi! I'm about to shop around for a new Mini.   What is usually the reduction that could be made below the msrp, especially that 2010 models will be soon aboard?   Can somebody help me with the name of a dealer where good deals could be made in DC (or even NYC) area?

Has anybody tried with Passport MIni at Alexandria, Virginia? Replies to this message: g0thamite (Sep 06, 2009 5:47 pm)

They are awaiting information and delivery of their 2010 cars. There's also Westchester Mini in White Plains and Manhattan Mini. I've had a very good experience with Prestige.

Replying to: alexwalex1 (Aug 11, 2009 11:13 am) Hi, Alex, Is your MINI a MINI S Cooper or a Cooper without Turbine engine? Tks.   I am considering a MINI, but I am not sure how much difference it will be b/w MINI S or MINI. Do you have any comments?

#1266 of 1309 MINI buying experience in Memphis, TN area by wilhelmw Sep 14, 2009 (10:11 am)
I am considering a MINI. Is there any one who recently bought MINI in this area? Unfortunately, there is only one MINI deal in Memphis. I will consider dealers in TX or LA, if the price is better. Appreciate if any one could share experience from TN, TX, or LA?
#1267 of 1309 a Q about 6 speed auto transmission by wilhelmw Sep 14, 2009 (11:00 am)
I went to Truecar to configure my own MINI and found that "6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION" is on the option list. What that mean? Does it mean that unless I select this option, the car will only have manual transmission?   Tks. Replies to this message: alexwalex1 (Sep 14, 2009 12:02 pm)
#1268 of 1309 Re: a Q about 6 speed auto transmission [wilhelmw] by alexwalex1 Sep 14, 2009 (12:02 pm)
Replying to: wilhelmw (Sep 14, 2009 11:00 am) Yes, that is exactly the case. Manual transmission is standard and automatic is optional.

Replying to: wilhelmw (Sep 14, 2009 10:05 am) In all honesty my wife drives our Mini on a daily basis and it is just a Mini Cooper, not Cooper S. I drive it occasionally and find that for day to day driving it is fun, perfectly powerful (remember it is a lightweight car) and goes 80 and above with ease if you are not paying attention. If you are not planning to floor the accelerator every time, it should be perfectly fine. If the car was for me, I would have gone for the S version and may have checked fewer option boxes than my wife had. Since the car was for her and she did not care as much about power, she got what she wanted. I shall note that our car is 6 speed manual. I had a chance to drive the car with automatic transmission and when you put that transmission in the Sport mode, it is also quite fun to drive, perhaps because it keeps car in the lower gears and higher RPMs resulting in more pull and better responsiveness. Of course it burns more fuel that way too. Replies to this message: wilhelmw (Sep 15, 2009 9:02 am)

Replying to: alexwalex1 (Sep 14, 2009 12:09 pm) Thanks, Alex   As to Sport mode, do I have to select the sport package or it is an choice in standard model?
