Experience with MINI dealers in NJ?

I live in Jersey City and plan to buy/lease Countryman S. There are quite a few dealerships around and I wonder with which ones people had good and bad experience?

Closest to me is Manhattan Midtown dealer but I'm not sure whether being a Jersey resident I should even consider NY or CT dealers because of higher state taxes or it's irrelevant?

Closest at like 15 miles NJ dealer is MINI of Morristown. Not sure how good they are.

Thanks.

I have used Morristown Mini several times. They are ok. No issues, except nothing to do around there while waiting unless you have a loaner or another ride.

Prestige Mini at Mahwah.

Every time I "stop" by, I feel like I need to bring something. That feeling of going to family or a friends house for a nice dinner.....great crew, treat you like a family. Little further for ya but, they are the best. Besides, you can drive through a nice scenic route through Hoboken, west ny, fort lee, rt4, rt17 and you r there. I'll bet ya you'll find reasons to go take your new countryman through that route... I do, w my white countryman Good luck w yours.

I liked the people at Prestige too. Although I didn't buy from them they still called to see how I made out after I told them I bought elsewhere.

I've only had one bad experience at prestige, other than that they have been very good. Awesome dealer.

I just ordered my car from MINI of Monmouth a week and a half ago. So far, my review is mixed. I'll hold off judgment for a bit, at least until I get my car.

Bought my second Mini from Princeton, excellent experience both times. If I'm still in Jersey, I'll buy #3 from them. Service after the sale has been excellent!!

I bought my roadster from Mini of Monmouth 2 weeks ago. Great dealership so far. You only work with one salesperson. No manager or finance person. The one dealer does it all and they are qualified to make the deal without asking a manager. Unfortunately for me there was no room to negotiate since I was their first roadster sale and they only had 2 on the lot. After 2 weeks, it was worth it. This car is great!!! My sales person was Kyle B. Great guy to deal with.
