I ordered today and got a great, great deal

I have been asking questions on NAM for a few weeks, and after learning a lot, and checking again today that my golf clubs fit in the Cabrio, I placed my order today as follows:

Nightfire Red Cabrio with black bonnet stripes
Cold weather package
Sport Package with all season tires
Auto transmission
Xenons and rear fog light
Black leatherette
Anthracite interior
Arm Rest, On board computer, HK Sound system

I ordered from Hassel Motors in Freeport, NY and got a great, great deal. I have read that the dealers don't negotiate and that you will be lucky to get $500 off list price, but I did better. I can't tell you how much better, but it was much better. You shoudl contact the sales manager, Joe Buontempo and tell him that you were referred by msmingel@yahoo.com. You can contact him at JBuontempo@hassel.com.

One other thing, they had a car from their allocation about to go into production and they were able to switch the options on that car to make it my car, so hopefully the car will arrive closer to 4 weeks than 6 weeks.

Congrats! Sounds like you configured a great car!

I have to admit - I'm jealous that your car is getting made faster than mine, though! :impatient

Sorry about your wait. Hope it arrives faster than you think.

One other thing, everyone seems to name their Mini, so I think mine will be "Randolph Wadsworth Cooper". That sounds like a proper English name for a car with an English heritage (although built by a German Company).

We don't talk about that around here. Unless you want to start a fistfight.

Oh yeah. Don't mention the war.
