Went-a-shopping

I finally got all my financial ducks in a row and went to the nearest Mini dealership in Hartford,CT only to be told that the approximate wait time on any customized Mini was close to 13 weeks. So I called the other dealership in CT and was given a 5 week time but over the phone. I'm not sure who to believe because the wait time is nothing they can control. The other thing the salesperson in Hartford mentioned was the $400 dealership charge they tack onto the MSRP for processing the paperwork and other formalities. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Wow..you are fast. Thank you! :) For my example, my configuration by building my car is 24,000 of MSRP in the miniuas.com, the dealer says I could get 500 discount...so suppose the deal is $23,500 now, how much extra cost do I need to consider before geting to OTD price (as far as I know, 6% tax, and property tax for CT...), could you estimate how much is reasonable for the rest of the fee generally? Because I try to reply my dealer by offering the OTD price, but I have little knowledge of all kind of transaction fee. I just don't want to win the discount part and actually lose the fee part...thank you! :D

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.
Cooper in CT

We took a delivery of 07 Yellow Mellow Cooper just 2 weeks ago in CT. We have onyl two dealers in state and luckily we live 10 miles from one. My wife drove it and loved it and we ended up ordering our yellow mini with checkers on the mirrors and roof from factory, optioned exactly as we liked (premium, cold, sports packages). Took 5 weeks to get. They were not discounting it at all, but threw in rubber mats and we pursuaded them to forgo their mandatory VIN etching, paint sealant, etc. While overall it seems to be a trend that they would not discount the car off MSRP, it seems that our salesperson as well as their business manager were a bit indifferent as to whether we would buy a car or not. No pressure is good, but a sort of no enthusiasm on their part either - if I knew nothing about the Mini, I would probably walk away to buy something else. Anyway - 500 miles down the road now and mife wife still loves it and I drove it too for a few days and it has a personality that beats its relative lack of power (if this car was not for my wife, I would have gotten Cooper S). SO far only 33 mpg with 70% highway driving, but I hope it does get better.
CVT
by plekto on Sun Apr 15 23:05:29 PDT 2007
I second this. A properly made CVT like in the Altima, will cost less to fix and out-everything a traditional automatic. But BMW can't seem to make a decent working one to save its life. That, and CVTs require loads of low-end torque to hook up off the line. That means a 3 - 5L engine in a typical car, plus an engine tuned to low-end RPMs. GM's new 3.6VVT in the LaCrosse and CTS would be a good candidate. The Mini's tiny engine... yeah, it's apallingly slow. The skinny is that the Mini should only be offered in manual. It's exactly like buying an automatic Porsche. Such a drastic difference in how it drives that you really should just stop being a lame couch potato who complains about everything and just learn to drive stick. Especially with the base Mini, which is pretty underpowered as it is. Two totally different experiences. And, yes, anyone can learn stick. ANYONE. 90%+ of the entire world drives or can drive a manual transmission. I'm sure if you got a brand new Mini with stick for free, you would figure uit out pretty soon ;)

I have a 2006 base Mini with manual transmission that I drive between Manhattan and Connecticut on the weekends. I agree that manual transmission is tough for Manhattan traffic -- it's tough when the traffic is stop-and-go and you are forever shifting between neutral and first. After one Friday with really bad traffic, I now wait until the Friday rush hour traffic clears before I leave Manhattan. (I bought the manual because I enjoy driving one and I spend a lot of time outside the city anyway, but if it's for pure city driving, I would think long and hard before buying a manual.) I have the dealer (Mini of the Hamptons) add the aux jack and it's GREAT for ipod. I also have my Garmin GPS (with a separate bluetooth phone connected) plugged into this aux jack and can listen to the GPS directions/listen to people on the phone through the car's stereo! This definitely beats the $750 bluetooth car kit that dealers charge for a BMW X5 that does not do GPS/MP3 music, etc. Hope my $0.02 help!
