So what trick are you all using when ordering new to get anything off? My dealer claims nowhere will give anything off on the Countryman yet over and over. I know this isn't true. I have Fred PenFed with them along with Costco and SAMs Club. Would like to try and work the price down along with some assecories when t comes in to pick up. Production is scheduled tomcomplete on Mach 31st
What State do you live in? There are only two Mini dealerships in my state, both owned by the same company so they have no reason to deal at all. Only one in Oregon....not dealing at all.I am having to go to Northern California (closest to me) to get any type of deal. I plan on incorporating the Mini purchase into my vacation of Napa Valley and to haul some wine back. LOL! So far Ive been quoted $1500 off MSRP....works for me!
You may have to travel out of state to get a deal....

I am in Arizona and only two in state and owned by same place. I have already placed my order, but would be nice if they would at least throw in some floor mats and window tint when I pick up. Will find out in a few months.
I got $1750 off MSRP and floormats. I also asked for 10% off a roof rack at the parts dept. I haven't bought the roof rack yet so hopefully that comes through.

I worked with 4 dealers in my area, letting them know I'd be shopping around and simply asking for their best price. All 4 dealers I spoke with made initial offers that were discounted off MSRP. From there I just went back to the 3 with the highest price and told them what they needed to do to get in the game. I saved the dealer who had the best initial price for last...gave him the chance to win the deal and he did.
That being said, much depends on where you live and the amount of competition in your area. I live in northern NJ and have 4 dealers within 30-40 minute drive from me and several more not too far beyond that, so lots of competition and dealers are discounting. In contrast, Seattle has just 2 dealers and both are apparently owned by the same group, so no real competition and, from what folks have posted here, no discounts.

Congrats on such a great Countryman discount!
I haven't found any real good deals for roof rack online. Best was $221 plus $12 shipping on Amazon Marketplace. Dealer wants $251-10%+8% tax. So online is about $10 cheaper.
Im in AZ and we only have 2 dealers... we got 1650 off MSRP w 489 or 499 Dealer doc fees... just gotta catch em at the right time. I went in there for parts for my 03, and it was 7pm, last day of the month and they had 99 cars sold that month... so the added dealer motivation (usually outside our control) was there. The real discount was Costco which they were able to offer on the Countryman, invoice + 1250, which wound up to be 1650 off.
I got mine at the end of the month and off the lot. Ended up with $3k of MSRP. 11 MCS EG MINI Connected +NAV, MSRP $26500, paid $23500 inc destination fee +tax, tags, and dealer fee. Also got 0.9% APR. I walked the first day so I think that helped a lot.
That sounds like a great deal. While other parts of country are unfortunately stuck with mostly MSRP, here in So Cal, with many dealers and over stocked cars, it's easier for discounts. But we do have to pay hefty tax.
Congrats!
I am planning to buy a MIni Country this month. Not sure who to go to. Test drove in South Bay. Visited Alexander. Can I still expect to get a deal if I am ordering?

Nice deal, but we are talking specifically about Countryman in this thread, upon which the 0.9% APR offer does not apply. I think it also helped that you bought off the lot rather than custom order.

PenFed is national. I saw an advertisement in last weeks New York Times and acted on it. Go to their website. If you're not one of the people categories at the top, go to the last option and pay $15 to become a member. It's well worth it in the end for 2.49%, unless you can find a better rate.
