Re: Ordering a Mini... [joshrtek3]: by scorpio9 on Sun May 06 17:51:43 PDT 2007; Hey Josh, I live in Miami, Fl. I had to special order my car which the last week of Feburary, 2007 - ALL I had to give them was $1000.00 which they never cashed. My final total on the car came to $33,400.00-$34,000.00 (07 Mini S Convert; Pepper White, includes Premium & Sport packages with 17" 5 spoke rims additioanl $500.00 /wheels & black bonnet strips), I has to get it stick (manual) what a difference in speed), Leatherette ( I already have a cr with leather and with times it gets destroyed) cockpit $300.00, interior $200.00(same color as the outside if the car)and I purchased for $450.00 a 4 year plan or 40,000.00 miles whichever comes first (don't remember exactly which one but out of the four to choices I purchased the most expensive.) I didnt relealize that the tires I purchased are not repairable hence, no patches or plugs. they are no run flat tires, if I get a flat or a nail in the tire I have 80 miles to reach a tire dealer had the dealer a piece of paper (I was given at Mini) to them and must replace my tire for FREE EXACT same ones. I will have you know that these tires run about $360.00 a pop. So its just something for you to think about. Good Luck I LOVE MY MINI S CONVERT and I have NO REGRETS especially with the extras'

Re: got my Mini [pjo1966]: by scorpio9 on Thu May 03 12:26:30 PDT 2007; Hello, I special ordered my 07 Mini S Convert in Feb 07 and just picked it up yesterday (well worth the wait) I financed the Mini through a Credit Union - the rates are unbelievable. BMW was ridiculous. Here are a few examples: 48 mon 5.15%; 60 months 5.65% via- a credit union. Mind you I have been with the same bank for over 11 years, purchased my first car through them, I have excellent credit 850 and they didn't even come close to the rates offered through a credit union. Lease vs purchase - I don't see myself having a car payment for the rest of my life.- NO WAY. besides the difference is dollars. / Miami, FL- GOOD LUCK!!

Re: Installation on accessories? [tica]: by silentmac on Mon Apr 16 08:55:23 PDT 2007; I think the paint protector is a dealer add-on that they make a ton of profit on. That is why they put it on every car on their lot. Shady. On the options you listed: I think the multifunction steering wheel is worth it because you have cruise and stereo controls right at your fingertips but some might not. The heated seats are probably a must for you but we live in FL... Dynamic Stability control doesn't seem that important if you get the base mini but you might want it on the S. It just tightens up the suspension for taking turns at higher speeds and keeps you from drifting off the road... The parking distance thing might be good if you have to parallel park a lot in NYC but its not really that useful here. The armrest sucks. We didn't get it because it looks like it will break. But if you don't have it you won't have a place to rest your arm. Also, if you want bluetooth for your phone you have to get it. The sports seats are much nicer than the normal ones. Its foggy here alot so fog lights are nice to have. Also, they look good on the car. I would never have cloth seats again but thats personal preference. They get dusty and dirty fast. Leather or leatherette you can just wipe off and are resistant to spills. Go with leatherette IMO. We didn't get a sunroof. It is really cool in the Mini because it encompasses the front and passenger areas. It makes your whole roof have a black area on in if you get the white roof though. We have a sunroof now and don't use it all that much so we decided we didn't need it. Shade for window- It's sunny here so I would get anything that blocks out the sun. They would probably throw this in for free... Mudflaps- Everyone says that they don't do much and the dealers charge quite a bit to install them. Automatic-I agree manual isn't good in NYC. Its too bad because I think the Mini is better in standard IMO. Base or S- We got the base because my girlfriend could care less about speed. Also, she wanted the oxygen blue (kinda Aqua like T-birds come in) and it isn't available in the S. I would test drive the S and Base in automatic and make sure the base has enough power for you though.... The grocery bag hooks and glove compartment divider are up to you but be aware that every one of the dealer accessories will be charged installation which adds up fast. We got the bigger tires because we though they looked nicer on the car. Just pay attention to the tire sizes and different rims at the dealer and get the ones you like best. The bigger the tires, the more sporty (or stiff) the ride though. We got 16" rims with all season tires (they last longer) because it seemed to be a happy medium between style and comfort. If you think the base wheels are fine get them though. Color for us was easy, my girlfriend has wanted an Aqua blue car for a long time. Don't go by the paint samples on the Mini website. They aren't right. Go look at cars on the lot or look at pictures at the North American Motoring Forum...I don't think the bonnet stripes will hurt sales values on the Mini. They are very common. You can get magnetic aftermarket ones if you really want though. Make sure and get free mats for front and back from your dealer.

Re: Installation on accessories? [tica]: by silentmac on Sun Apr 15 22:27:05 PDT 2007; I looked up all the sales managers in FL and emailed them a list of the options we wanted without prices and asked for their lowest and final "out the door" price. Most of the responses had different prices. The lowest was the one we bought from who gave us MSRP with no additional fees or costs besides taxes and title transfer. This is really below MSRP though because he didn't charge the $650 destination fee which is usually required. I'm really not sure why he didn't other than to get the sale. Dealer fees, destination fees, and installation on dealer add-ons can add up quick. Any dealer add-ons like the iPod adaptor have a wide degree of latitude on pricing because they charge varying installation rates. There were some dealers that charged alot more for installation and just about everyone's dealer fees were different. (Anywhere from $350-$650). They certainly have room to drop the price if they want to but most won't. At MSRP, the car we bought yielded them approx. $2100 profit (maybe a little less if they have to pay that destination fee), but they might have made even more because I don't even know whether there are dealer kickbacks. Paying MSRP seems to be the Mini way, but I did some research and found out that the dealer fees are a price gouge that dealers get away with. It is supposed to pay for the cost to inspect, unwrap, clean, and fuel your car. Of course, these costs really only amount to $100 at most to the dealer and really not even that since they have to do this to any car they get anyway. Another thing to look out for is the "paint protectant". The Palm Harbor dealer proudly told us that all the cars on the lot have the some sort of paint guard (a large invisible clear decal across the front bumper and hood) and that this was an extra $1000. If you really want this, you can get it installed for much less after market. The deposit is when you order one. You have to put something down while it is being built. The price is set once you sign the contract and you pay the balance when the car gets in. It really doesn't matter to me what they charge but it's nice having as little of our cashflow tied up as possible. We only ordered because my girlfriend really wanted Oxygen Blue, which nobody has on the lot yet. Several dealers tried to get us to drop the iPod adaptor because the car already has an aux-in in the glovebox and their installation rate was way too high. We wanted the iPod specific adaptor though because you can control it with the stereo controls on the steering wheel, it charges the iPod, and shows track information on the head unit. We use our iPods for music in our cars now but our adaptor only allows us to use the iPod interface to change songs. It is really dangerous to reach into the glovebox, get your iPod out, and look for a song while you are driving down the freeway. It is certainly worth $385 IMO to have a 1000-20,000 song jukebox in your glovebox that can be controlled with your steering wheel and can be taken with you. Especially, if you already have an iPod. It isn't worth the $700 some other dealers where trying to charge though...
