hey guys... haven't posted in a while just lurking. i was in the mini dealer the other day and saw they are in need of 2010 2011 hardtops.. what is everyone thoughts on trading in a situation like this. I was thinking if i could get a good deal maybe upgrade to a JCW which is my dream car!! has anyone done this and do they give good deals because they want these used 2010 and 2011s??? thanks!

 

It's an old dealer ploy to get you on the lot so they can sell you a new car while making you a lowball trade-in offer.

 

haha thats what i thought... maybe ill get some test drives out of it! haha I'm always down for that

 

I have an eleven year old Ford F-150 pickup truck and every so often I get a notice from Ford saying they have buyers looking for a 2003 F-150 and want to know if I would be willing to go to my nearst dealership to sell them my truck - Fish On!

 

Excellent. That is exactly the way to describe it. They are fishing .

 

You willl get letter in the mail...
"your car is in demand"
"We need YOUR car for a customer who wants it"....
Goes on and on...
the whole game is get you in the door....cause till that happens...they CANNOT TRY TO SELL YOU A NEW CAR.
A sucker is born everyday....don't be a sucker...
But if you want to take a testdrive in a gen3....do a handbrake turn...er..game the system....

 

haha well guys i figured!! i did have to go in again to drop off the loaner... ended up talking to one of the sales guys who has had 10+ minis new and classics.. naturally we went for a spin in the F56 S... pretty nice ride! not sure if i like the style looks quite yet though.
