New York Area Dealers

Can anyone advise who has had positive purchase experiences in the NY area? I am considering going to
MINI of Manhattan
Fairfield (CT) MINI
Westchester MINI
or
Prestige MINI

Any feedback in treatment or pricing would be appreciated.

Thanks

MINI of Manhattan has a couple of MA's that are active locally, supporting NEMINI.org.
This is also true of an MA or two at Morristown MINI

If you don't mind heading onto Long Island, Habberstad BMW Mini treated me real nice 2 weeks ago. I got $500 off MSRP and free rubber mini mats. The deal was easy, and they have a nice selection. Ask for Maureen.

You know she doesn't leave with you when you pick up the car right?

I got my MINI from Habberstad too. My MA was Cori, she was very helpful, forgot how much I got off MSRP I think it was around $500 too. No floor mats though

Maureen Hirsch of Habberstad was very nice. Dealing with her was easy and I got some $$$ off MSRP plus rubber mats. Of course it was an in stock 2007 model, though it had everything I wanted. Basically loaded. She did mention the tire and wheel warranty to me and I thought it made sense since the lower profile tires and expensive wheels would cost an arm and a leg to replace. I have not got around to doing it yet. Just got SuperMINI 2 weeks ago and falling in serious love. With the MINI that is :impatient

Chris does seems a little hard sell when it comes to the dealer added stuff but I guess that's how they make the extra profit these days. In 05 they didn't have a finance guy and you just signed all the paper work with Ed and your MA. I kinda liked that better.

James at Mini of Manhattan is your man

I bougt my car here after being somewhat jerked around at other locations you mentioned in your post. He was very helpful, straighforward. They also were VERY understanding when I changed my order after it was complete and on the boat.

Good luck

Dennis is the best salesman I have ever met. He jumped through hoops to get me my Mini. I wish him well at Habberstad
