MINI Purchase - Experience

Greetings all. I wanted to briefly add my voice of confidence after having a fantastic experience at Towson Mini. Benn Edwards was great from start to finish. I did all the wheeling and dealing over the phone and internet. I couldnt be more pleased after a less then helpful experience at Sterling and then a bait and switch deal at the Annapolis dealer. I purchased the rollout clubman (blue with silver top) and it is just a great dirving experience. I thank this forum for very informative posts. cheers

Congrats on the new car!
Did you get to play with Lord Bentley?!? (bulldog puppy in Ben's office) That helped me pass the time as i waited for mine to be ready to drive away in..

Sounds like you tried all 3 DC-ish dealers. That's not fun.

I'm glad you finally got your MINI. Did you order or buy off the lot?

You don't know how happy this makes me - I'm on the tail end of an all-online order from Towson, and I was a little nervous that it wasn't worth the drive from DC... but it sounds like they have the best service...

I ran into the same issues at MoS. When they finally reponded to my voicemail/emails I was told their allotments were all used up but I could be put on their "waiting" list. No thank you.

Fortunately I ordered from Annapolis on 6/14 and got week #28. Towson Mini in MD, and Otto's and Main Mini's in PA also have available allotments.
