After weeks of searching dealers and reading these forms I finally found the perfect MINI for me. With the Cash for Clunkers program building my own was out of the question. Finally the MINI of Schaumburg had the PW/B I had been looking for. But then it was sold! Then they were going to get another from the port. They told me they could get it, but then SOLD! So finally they found one more that is on the boat and I was finally able to make a down payment. AND because this new MINI had the extra cost of sport seats, which I hadn't asked for originally, she waved the fee! In the end it ended up being....
Pepper White body color
Black roof and mirror caps
Black leatherette seats
Sport Seats
Manual transmission
Cold weather package
Premium package
Bluetooth / iPod adapter
All season tires
Sport Stripes
Armrest

I'll have it in a week and a half! CANT WAIT!

 

are you paying MSRP except for the seats?
congrats!

 

Yeah. The seats were never really anything I considered but hey, everything's better when it's free right!

 

congrats on your new mini !
we got ours last friday !
enjoy !

 

Congratulations. Sport seats are awesome.

 

Sport seats are the best. Headrests need some work.

 

Congrats on the new car!

For anyone else reading this - they did just recently change the C.A.R.S. program so that you can get the $3500/4500 on a car that you order. The dealer will process the paperwork when you place an order instead of waiting for the car to arrive and running the risk that the program would be over by then...

 

Congrats!!! PW is definitely the best especially when it always manages to look clean

can't wait to see the pics posted!!!!

 

Can't go wrong with sport seats, I love mine !

 

Congrats, that sounds great. I should have tried that dealership. I went to Naperville but I was not impressed with their salesperson. I'm going to pick mine up on Saturday in Grand Rapids instead.

 

Anticipation!!
Your are going to have fun!!

 

Thanks for all the support, I'm very excited. However we had quite a problem occur tonight. I received an email from my MA that informed me that the cash for clunkers program would be ending on Saturday. So I have to drive all the way up to Chicago just to sign the papers before the program expires. The money is worth the drive, but still quite an annoyance. Oh well, the important thing is I still get my MINI!
