Bill Jacobs MINI vs Dreyer & Reinbold MINI

Which do you feel is a better dealership? I want one currently, but for many reasons can't get one for a while and I'm just lining my ducks up in a row so that when ordering time comes I know what I want and where to get it. I've been to Bill Jacobs and while one or two MAs have been really cool I get a feeling that for the most part they just are as enthused as some others I've heard of. Now Dreyer is closer to me but farther from my real home, I'm out of state here at Purdue University. So any oppinions, stories, info..etc anything would help.

Buy it from Naperville.

It'll give you an excuse to put in some driving time and ~250 miles round trip on weekends between home and West Laughalot. That way in one trip you can bring your MINI in for maint, drop off your laundry at home, raid mom & dad's fridge and then head back to Undue Perversity

Go Boilermakers!

I'm in Lafayette right now as well, and opted to go to D&R. I wanted the ride there to be as short and easy of a ride as possible should any issues pop up. I had an effortless purchase experience, and would recommend Jim Barth or Rhonda Glenn as MA's, as I dealt with both. Let me know what color you get and I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I bought mine at D&R but would seriously consider Classic in Ohio for another purchase. They provide several freebies and you can still get service at D&R. Classic gets excellent reviews and it really isn't that far of a drive.

I had great experience with Bill jacobs and so did my GF when she ordered hers a few years ago. Im sure most Mini dealers are the same, but Racheal L. at Bill jacobs is awesome! good luck with your decision!
