Best place to buy if living in HSV?

The other threads about this are rather old.

I was going to buy while up here in the NOVA area, but we're moving to HSV sooner than we expected.

I'd probably order around the end of Jan. if everything goes well.

I assume one of the dealers in Atlanta is best?

Thanks.

NASHVILLE BMW/MINI!!! 100%!

Hello and welcome to Alabama (when you get here)
Ok, I lived in Huntsville for several years but didn't buy my MINI until after I had moved away. I still go there every 2 weeks though, great place! You will love it and we may move back some day~

So, I found my 2005 in Auburn, AL, online through Auto Trader, bought from the origional owner, it had only 3,500 miles on it! It was Love at first sight! If I needed service (not just basic matinance) done, I've gone to Nashville BMW/MINI. Its a be-a-utiful drive and I always got excellent service. Also being in Huntsville you're so closer to Nashville (its actually in Brentwood, just south of the city, very easy to find, straight shot on I-65 from Rocket City, right on the Hwy too===

I would NOT go to Atlanta if you payed me (due to Hellacious traffic...and a few problems I have had in the past)


Hope your move to HSV goes well and once again, Welcome~

Has been to all 3 places. Even tho they all suck in their each special way. Mini of Nashville is still above the other two. Jon Monk in sales was to me and still is a good guy to deal with, and is an enthusiast of the MINI. As for after the sale, not a whole lot to write home about. In fairness tho Mini of Nashville was generally good to deal with.
Buy a MINI becuase you LOVE THE CAR. not because everyone thinks it cool!

MINI of Nashville has greatly improved their service within the last year, imo. It's roughly 100 miles away and an easy commute up I65. Jst4fun is right. Speak with John Monk. He is a MINI enthusiast himself.

Look forward to maybe seeing you at one of our monthly dinners. BTW, it seems that the Virginia tags are trying to outnumber the Alabama tags here in Huntsville lately.
