Just Bought from Bob Smith - Great Place

Hi all. I just bought my 2010 MCS last night from Bob Smith MINI, and I had a great experience. I ordered it on 10/2, because I HAD to have the LSD. I'm a bit obsessive that way. Anyway, Lauren Wilson was my MA, and she was great. She was never pushy, was always there to answer questions, and very proactive. I work with sales people all the time in my job, and they tend to drive me batty. Considering that Lauren didn't even come close to making me nuts, that is high praise. We were in and out in 2 hours, including time to handle my trade-ins. I am a happy motorer (is that even a word?). I am going back in on the 30th to have my roof graphic and mud flaps installed, so I will let everyone know how things go on the service side, but so far so good.

Thanks to Lauren, Maria, Molly, and crew at Bob Smith for making my first MINI purchase a good experience.

Ryan Walsh

I wish I could say the same. I tried to buy from them in 2002 and again this September and it never worked out. The first time they had a mark up on all S and JCW cars,so I passed. And this last time they did not want to order my JCW because I had not sold my old car yet. So it was Long Beach for me.

I wonder how they could not make an order the JCW for you? I don't understand this "...they did not want to order my JCW because I had not sold my old car yet..." ???

They did not wish to take the chance that my car would not sell by the time the new car came in. They had been stuck with a JCW that some one walked away from for over 6 months. I told them I was not planing on walking away from the car if this happened. But the MA said perhaps you should go elsewhere so I did.
