When are the NAM vendors going to give higher discounts

When are the NAM vendors going to give higher discounts during the Corona virus health pandemic ?

WE all love our Mini's but many of us may or have already has a loss in our incomes.
It would be nice to see higher discounts so we can keep our Mini's in tip top shape, and support the NAM vendors.
Businesses are loosing sales but we can support our vendors on NAM better if they would increase their discounts over 5 or 10%.
We are all in this together; lets see what better discounts will do to help each other.

I have a couple problems with this question.

A.) NAM vendors have families to feed too.
B.) Desperate vendors are reacting to an economic downturn, not a pandemic. Sure, the pandemic is the root cause of said crash, but asking for low prices because 76,000 people are dead is just morbid.

The fed is hard at work making things cheaper across the board by tanking the value of the dollar. Soon that intercooler price will seem downright reasonable when a carton of eggs is $8.00. -_- Enjoy your stimulus check though.

Hello MiniKar,

We are match price on Genuine MINI for call in for NAM members. We have something planned coming up but I don't have info on that yet, will post up when I find out.
We do have call in discounts if you are a NAM member on most Performance and Aftermarket parts. Just call in and ask for Michael Panning and he can help you out.
Milltek just did a 15% off the full line and continued it now for some time. We have a couple more sale coming out this week and will be in the announcements.

This is what I know we are running right now.

I am working form home and we are still here for you guys.

Stay safe.

What kind of entitled nonsense is this?



Support the small guys right now, they need it the most. I've been giving every dollar I can to the local owned hardware, auto parts, and grocery stores.

Well its not odd, and its not entitled nonsense, and not morbid.

These are hard times for everyone.
Discounts drive sales so lets increase the sales for the vendors.
When vendors give larger discounts, their sales increase
That why they have ads here on NAM to sell their inventory
Its a nudge for us to buy something

No, it not odd. Its just how it happens to work.

I didn't specify what was odd. Could have been your OP, the response or all of it.
