Looking for a Mini website

Hello to all;
Went to a Mini Dealer told the salesman what I was looking for. He went to his computer and found what I wanted he said it was on the west coast. If I wanted it there would be a delevery charge. So I ask him the name of the dealer he would not give out the dealers name. Told him I would be willing to fly out and buy it there. He still would not give out the dealers name.


So is there a site to go and find Mini's at dealers in the USA with out going to different Mini Dealer site's to look for the Model I'm looking for?


I used AutoDataPoints.com for my last vehicle but the site is down.

Tell the salesman you want a copy of the carfax to review. Then copy down the VIN. You should be able to do a GOOGLE search of the VIN and find what dealership has it listed.

I agree. The shipping cost will be extremely high. Might be worth researching the web instead. If in a Mini dealership, check their sites, there not that many.

And if you check sites like, https://www.carvana.com or https://www.carmax.com it might help finding what you want.

Unfortunately, it makes sense why the salesman doesn't want to give the info, he is going to make anything off of it.

Can you try to order it through your Mini dealer?

if it's in the pnw, theres only a handful of MINI dealers up here. you should be able to narrow down your search if it's at one of three. seattle mini, northwest mini in tacoma or mini of portland.

Try Autotrader as well...they generally have many dealers, MINI or non-MINI so if it's out there, you can pretty much find it there.
