Hi all. New to the board, not to Minis. I've owned a '65 Cooper S for 16 years.
Looking for carpets and tires. Anyone have a lead on good deals out there?

Thanks in advance.

New to NAM, but not the marque

Hi group. I just joined, but have been enjoying my '06 S for three years. I am forced to sell the stick shift car due to a left knee problem, but not to fear! I have ordered a new Cooper S with an auto. My first car with an automatic trans, but it's still a Cooper!

MINI - CA and CO

I am really glad that NAM exists. Thank you for posting this new thread yesterday that welcomes new guests such as myself. I have been selling MINI Coopers of all types over the last year and a half at South Bay BMW/MINI in California and now at Ralph Schomp MINI in Colorado and I have worked with co-workers who have taught me many things that they have learned on NAM. I am excited to now be a part of NAM with them and with you. I intend to create a knowledge base for myself with which I can answer many of the questions that NAM users have. Welcome to all of the other newcomers and I look forward to connecting with many of you on NAM and in Colorado. Motor On!!

Hello to everybody! First time MINI owner. Had it delivered on Friday. My wife loves it. Unfortunately it came with only one key so that means a trip to the dealer with checkbook in hand, .. But no worries, the car looks great.

New guy with questions

Hello to all,
New to this whole scene, forums, posting and Mini's. I ordered my Chile Red MC on 9/19. At the time the 2010 package was not available. I ordered white bonnet strips, center arm rest and the premium package. The premium package at the time included the now standard MFSW. Checked with my MA asking what exactly my build is since it is listed as premium package on the Mini Lounge. He is not sure and is checking to see what exactly I am getting. $500 swing with the HK sound system. Mini Lounge still shows car as ordered. 866-ASK-MINI says it was scheduled 9/21. I was expecting a 6-8 week delivery. Am I ok? Any thoughts or words of comfort? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and to the MINI concept. I don't own one yet, but I know I want one. I think I've settled on the MCCSa ... it's now trying to decide on the colors!

So how do I go about the ordering process ... is there any "negotiating" for options, or is it standard to pay the "build your own" price on the MINI USA website?

Great information here ... and I will visit often, especially when I finally get my very own MINI Baby!!!

I went to my local dealer and they told me that they don't negotiate. Of course, I am not a good negotiator! I just went ahead and built my own.

You can go to the site and build your own and find out the price. You can decide from there if you want to haggle over the price or just build your own.

Hello as a newb

My Mini was delivered this last July on my birthday, 09. I have since gone from Calif. to Maine and back and then back up into Canada to add up 11900 miles in little over a month! I look forward to what I can learn here. Bob, my mini, did an excellent job with no problems carrying 3 adults and luggage with a roof rack, of course.

Jerry

New to Me... suggestions for fellow Mini Cooper bargain hunters

Hello All!

I just took my new (to me) 2008 Silver Mini Cooper S home last night. I couldn't love it more if I had "built it" myself. For anyone looking for a bargain, I thought I'd share my experience. Hope it helps!!

After building my "perfect mini" on the website, the bargain hunter in me was a bit shocked by the sticker price ($35K for everything I wanted- out of my price range). So after a month of failed attempts to negotiate a deal with the dealerships in MD, VA, DC & PA for a new '09 or '10 Cooper S, I found a used '08 model with everything I wanted on the internet at an Acura dealership in Gaithersburg. They were willing to negotiate on price for both the fully loaded Cooper S (navigation, bluetooth/ipod, winterpackage, sport, full leather, premium with 7900 miles for $24,999- incl tax, title,, fees, etc.) and my old car that I needed to trade in. Mini Dealerships are not hurting for business like the rest of the auto dealers, so it might be worth exploring other new/used dealers for a bargain. Good luck!

Can't wait to attend the next Mini event in Maryland!! Does anyone know if/when the next one is to be held?
