Dealers.

I was hoping that I could have the NAM community help me out with finding a good dealer. I am planning on trading up to a Coupe in the near future. I have several options all more then 2 hours from me so I was hoping that I could get opinions from owners from Baton Rouge, Dallas and Houston areas.

There is just one dealer in Baton Rouge and Dallas and Houston areas have several each. So for the area that has multiple dealers just need honest opinions of sales team and service dept. Which dealer they would use and also why. I have dealt with Mini of Dallas and was very pleased with them, But would like opinions for others close to me, which is in Shreveport Louisiana.

Wish there was a dealer in Little Rock Arkansas, That would be the funnest drive to and from.

If you are going to be traveling a fair distance to buy and service the car you don't really need to limit the purchase to a certain distance or locals. Why not do two searches, one for service and one for the purchase?

As far as coupes go, there are a number of left-over '12s around that you might get a deal on.

I can't recommend Sewell Plano highly enough! My buying experience greatly exceeded my expectations and the subsequent service has been equally impressive. I'm sure the other dealers in the area are quality as well, but surpassing Sewell would be a tall order. It was the best purchase experience, automotive or otherwise, that I've ever had.

Unfortunately, my MA is no longer with the company, but ask for Jonathan in sales and tell him Jon Cannon with the Black 2012 MCS JCW sent you! You will not be disappointed!

As for as a left over Coupe. Kind of particular what I am looking for. I want a BRG with chili red top, so I doubt there will be many JCW Coupes left over. So far it looks like MINI of Sewell Plano

Well my louisiana motoring pal . I purchased my cooper- two of them in Baton Rouge . They do not come off the price of the car . I did get a very good fair price for trading in my cooper for another one . I would guess larger area like Texas - better deal - more dealerships in Texas ? Dealership in Baton Rouge has been good to me service has been great so far . If they give you a good deal in texas go for it !

El Tiger thanks for the info there. That is kinda of info I am looking for. From my zip to closest 5 MINI dealers around me range form 197(MINI of Dallas) to 212 in Arlington. And that's on the MINIUSA.com site. Its only showing distance to one of the 3 in Houston Area. So as you can see distance for me is relative just want sound advice.....BTW how are things on the Free DP tshirt thread. Hadn't been there in while.

Checked out your site and looks good. Also Subzero highly recommends you guys in Sewell so when I get closer to the Big time and nobody else pipes in you guys may get my business unless my conscience gets the better of me and I support my home state.

I'm a relatively new owner of a preowned S that I bought privately and have been using Sewell. Their treatment of me and the car has been exemplary. I highly recommend them. Parts and service. You can walk the new car show room without attack.
