Picked up Yum Yum Yesterday! what a ride

Well after all the waiting and sleepless nights I finally picked up my beloved Yum Yum from Hank Aaron in Atlanta. What a class act they turned out to be I would highly recomend them there weren't any surprises except thier excellent service by Nicole Walters my MA and Ruth my finance mgr. All the figures were just as they should be NO extra charges or any thing. After reading all the horror stories about MINI dealers I was very scared to pick up the car worring about what surprises they might throw at me. I had a very bad expirence trying to buy a MINI from Global, I walked out and drove the extra miles over to Hank Aaron and because of Nicole's excellent service I laid down a deposit ordered a car on the spot, am glad I did! Hank Aaron kept thier word on everything. Treated us with respect and made us feel we were valued customers and I would highly recomend to anyone. Anyway the ride home was a blast we took the longest route through Stone Mtn and the car was sweeeet. Can't wait to get her on the road again today. To everyone who is dealing with the sleepless nights during the waiting process for thier MINI all I have to say is yes it is worth the wait.

Great! Glad you like your MINI. (psst your checks in the mail, Nicole)

Seriously, I like to hear stories like mine. Went to first dealer, would not lower markup at all (lower not do away with), went to next closest dealer and was TOTALY ignored as I stood in the dealership (three people walked past me - one guy twice - and no one said a word) so I walked out and went to the next dealer and got Great service!!

congrats

congradulations! My MINI just got to the dealer so im looking forward to picking it up soon. As for the MA not being attentave, I sort of have that problem with my dealer. She has been ok but not great about responding to requests but in person she was very nice and wanted to work with me. The MA I started with ignored me the day I showed up to talk with her, even though she was told I was there to place my order. So i'm waiting to see how it goes when I pick up my MINI.
