MINI of Edison

Very nice facility, very nice staff, our salesperson Nadir was very very nice, (don’t forget to stop in and try the free coffee machine in the lounge) but, don’t expect to buy one of their cars for the price that you see on their website, because it seems at this Open Road owned dealership it just doesn’t work that way. I saw a very nice car on their site advertised for $ 31,895. I drove an hour to see and drive it; I loved it; offered to pay the advertised price in full and buy the car; but no, Mini of Edison doesn’t work that way. The advertised price doesn’t include the glass etching fee of $ 199 ( i could live with that, a few nickel and dimes won,t kill me) It also didn’t include the $ 599 doc fee ( a little high on the industry standard, I have bought many cars, but still, that was a nice coffee machine so I’ll give them that one too) But then, there was the $ 1000 fee for writing a check for the car, yes, you heard me right, instead of financing the car through “ their” bank, I wanted to pay in cash, and Edison of Mini charges you $1000 more for that. Yes folks, on most of the planet you get a discount for cash, but not at Mini of Edison. But, get ready, they weren’t finished with me yet.........I also needed to pay them a $ 995 “re-conditioning”fee ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE!!! You know, those used cars are a mess, and it costs a lot to run them through the car wash, ALMOST A GRAND, if I can still add after all this emotional strain. So yes, I loved the car at $ 31,895,(The price on their website) but when I wanted to buy it, the price somehow became $ 34,688.WOW, wish I had that calculator at my office, i’d be the fastest growing privately held auto sales chain in the NJ/NY AREA too! You really don’t have to be a mathematician for that do you Mr. Morais. Maybe everyone who has purchased a car from an Open Road owned dealership should check that financing contract over closely to see exactly what they did pay for! Best wishes, and for your own good, shop elsewhere!
