First MINI - Motor City MINI - free mints and umm.. thats about it

Thrid MINI - Classic MINI - Rubber mats, keychain, small MINI toy.. maybe some other stuff, I can't remember..

 

Rasmussen has been good to me as well. I got my usual floor mats and a hat for my honey when we took delivery and I got a pretty nice discount on some other stuff I picked up at the same time while I was there. I had to take her back in the next week for Tough Guard and my MA let me drive his MINI for the day and when they didnt finish on time I kept it overnight no charge. I have to agree fluidsoul that their coffee is pretty darn good!

 

holy crap. i think all i will get when i pick my mini up is a hand shake. What ever at least i am gettign a mini. Would have like at least mats to come with the car, you woudl think bmw in all it wisdom would include $10 mats, cant cost much more then that to make them. But would make my days is when i pick the car up if the give my daughter a stuffed bull dog she really wanted one.

 

Do car buyers (any, not just MINI) really expect free things?? I think its kind of unreasonable. I wasn't given anything when I bought my Audi.

 

Wait, I'm remembering more free stuff. I forgot the large cupholder attached to the center console, the Mini cuzzie, the 2 key chains, the Mini mints, and the Mini bottled water. That's it for real this time.

 

We got a couple tshirts, a stuffed blue MINI, checker valve stem caps, a boot cargo net, S keychain, bulldog keychain, MINI chrome license plate frame. Also got a metal "Lauderdale MINI" Euro-size license plate for my garage, where it proudly hangs. Wow, that is alot of stuff! We did buy 2 MINIs tho.

I keep dropping hints for schwag to my MA at Murray, UT. I'm hoping to get floor mats and a cupholder for my 14 hour drive back.

 

That's because it's Audi...

 

I got floor mats, a crappy black frame with the dealers name on it, two free holes in my front bumper to hold the crappy black frame, optional cup holder, and a nice key chain. I got the key chain because my rear whiper didn't work, and I didn't find that out till day 2 of owning Bean. Bean is cursed, but still fun to drive!

 

because i knew someone who worked for the business group that owns Morristown MINI we got the IPOD adapter for free...

b/c of the same contact we were supposed to get a MINI gift bag that was going to be "really nice"...

when we took delivery (8/10/06) everything was great except no gift bag... so we asked where the gift bag was and they said... we'll have it for you when you pickup your plates...

then i got an e-mail... what do you want for the gift bag? t-shirts, hats, etc or floor mats (choice of rubber or carpet)... so i said, we'll take the rubber "s" floor mats...

they said we can't give you the "s" mats... too expensive...

so we're expecting rubber mats...

if i didn't know anyone... i'm sure we would have gotten nothing except a great car, a handshake and a bill ; )

sbp

 

I am not looking for free stuff, just want to hear what everyone esle got. I would have really like mats tho or at least that stuff bulldog for my daughter. Looks like i will have to by the $38.00 dog. lol

thought this would be just a fun topic

 

1. Front & rear floor mats (including installation)
2. Front sunshade
3. Blue spark plug wires (including installation)
4. $35 gift certificate to the MINI/BMW Boutique store

I just asked the question about discounts on acccessories, and the MA offered all of the above for free.

You do need to ask, you don't need to insist.

Hope this helps.

 

Don't be too hard on Audi...my wife received a Bose Companion 3 Multimedia Speaker System ($249 retail value) a few months after taking delivery of her A3...



I got a t-shirt from MINI.

 

I was promised a free transformer model for my son if I bought the real thing....

 

I can't complain.... I got a free alarm system. They installed it by mistake and felt they couldn't honestly charge me for it. So it was free (double checked the invoice and paperwork to make sure). I still paid for the floor mats though.

 

ok, I am such a princess!! I called my MA and asked him if I was going to get free stuff? He says, oh, I will give you a hat and shirt. I said, I don't wear hats. I want something I can use... like a travel cup, keychain, rubber floor mats.. He says, Ok, I will hook you up, you are in good hands. So... come November... we shall see!

 

the carpeted mats are free for me. took off 400 dollars off of msrp. I never haggled for a second or asked that REALLY lame question "is that your best price?" I sell things as a business so I just had to add that.

hm. Does the mini come with anything like first aid kit or emergency road things?

(still have yet to receive it.. zzz...z ...zzz....)

 

FYI, the MINI robots are models but definitely not toys. Very fragile and not suitable for playing with by children.

 

In the spreadsheet I got from my MA, they included black carpeted floor mats and MINI wheel locks in their dealer prep.

I'm going to push for some fun stuff as well, but these I know I can count on...

 

I got a free swivel cupholder mounted on the center column. I also got my 06 MCC for free because I won it in the Dr. Pepper contest than ran last summer!

 

DR. pepper that is pretty cool

 

I tried so hard to win one of those DR. Pepper MINI's. . . .

Now their current contest is for a Hummer. . . but if I win that, I'll sell it for another MINI!

 

We got a couple of keychains with little BRG Mini toys hanging from them. Kinda cheap by comparison. We would have loved a couple of caps.

 

You could sell it for a couple of Mini's!

 

We got (in 2004) floormats, boot mat, sun shade, cupholder, 2 mugs, keychain, 2 shirts, hat, "Cooper S" plate frame, CD holder, special MINI CD, and some mints.

Have gotten more fun stuff from the same dealer when we have visited over the years! (Out of town dealer)
