Find MINI Dealers in San Antonio, Texas

I like Minis, but they should not cost more than $16000. You may be shopping at the wrong place. Honda's Fit is more in keeping with your pricing expectations.

Of course I forgot something - I'm in San Antonio, TX.

I recently leased a MINI in San Antonio, TX. Having noticed that some posters to this forum were asking about tax on a lease, I will pass along my experience. The MINI dealer insisted that Texas law requires payment of sales tax on the full car price, and this was added to the advertised lease down payment. Although I got the car anyway, leasing is apparently not a very good deal between "pardners" here in Texas.

I'm still laughing...Not at you, but just the situation. It was my impatience that led me to call dealerships around the country looking for my car in stock because I didn't want to wait 4 months. I got lucky and Tom Bush Mini had the exact same car I was going to order in my second color choice on the lot waiting for me to say "SOLD". They did not pay for shipping, but they did recommend a company and I was very pleased with them. When I told my local dealership that I found my car somewhere else and wanted my deposit back they basically laughed and said there is no way you found an MCS not already sold. I even told them where so that if they wanted my business they could mabye arrange a trade, etc... Again, they didn't believe me and then they suggested they wouldn't service my car because I didn't purchase from them. They did the same thing with both my BMWs. Good thing service and sales are seperate. I know dealer allocations are based somewhat on CSI's. I have a theory the reason the local dealer has such a long wait is because of poor CSI's. With the attitude they've had every time I've tried to purchase a car from them (3 times now), I can see why the wait is so long...

Actually, I didn't go to Florida. I did it all over the telephone, fax, and mail. It was as easy as 1,2,3. Had the car in less than two weeks instead of a 4 month wait. I was so impressed with the dealership, that I am now on the list for a Cabrio. Just find it funny that you had to pay above MSRP because the car was on the lot. You would think they would do MSRP whether you ordered or not. (Just my opinion)
