finally!!!

i signed yesterday for my mini!!

sparkling silver base model with black sports stripes, black roof and mirrors!!

my next questions are do floor mats come with the car, and can i change spooler rims for 5-star spoke rims--which do not cost extra?

am i going to have to continue haggling?

how should i work this part of the negotiations?

i will pick up mini next week after stripes are put on.

 

if you signed im not sure what negotiating you can do, but try to work withyour dealer! The mats are extra but most dealers throw them in if you are hesitating. In my opinion, you can get cool mats aftermarket cheaper, so search the sites first before you pay for any. I prefer the rubber mats because of spill cleanup. The wheel thing, they MAY help you if they have some in shop.
Good luck, and enjoy!!!

 

Welcome to the forum, in general you are best off getting freebies before you sign the docs, but give it a try, who knows.

 

Yeah, what thirdrail and BensMini said. I wouldn't say all MINI MA's are like this, but some will bend over backwards before you sign, but not so much after you sign. Getting the mats thrown in should be easy though. Not so sure about the wheels. If they say no then think of it this way, it can be your first of many many mods that will likely gobble up your wallet. Congrats on your new MINI!

 

I was going to mention, my favorite wheels were aftermarket anyway, and I only got them after sf streets battered my stock ones into tacos. Had I swapped for aftermarket early on, I'd have had a spare set: track, sale whatever. Now you can do the same!

 

The 5-star spokes are a 17" option for the ClubmanS-es only. You didn't specify the model you bought, but if you didn't get an R55, the dealer might be hesitant on switching them out, unless you got a wheel standard across the models, like the Conicals or something.
