Looking to buy a new Mini S Coupe and am wondering what kind of discounts people have been able to negotiate recently as we get to the end of the model year and end of summer? Not sure if it is worth buying now or waiting until the 2010 models come out. My local dealer wants to give me a discount of $1100 off sticker price which doesnt seem that great considering it is at the end of the model year.
Any and all comments appreciated. Jim

 

That discount that your dealer is offering sounds good to me. Better than the $0 discount I got after attempted negotiations! (Mines a 2010 order though)

 

"which doesnt seem that great"? If so, then maybe y're better off with a KIA or a Chevy. $1100 off msrp is pretty decent. If y're trying to buy a MINI at invoice--the $1100 off number represents about the halfway point between msrp and invoice--well, good luck.

I take it this car is dealer stock? I'd haggle down another $400, and if they bite, go for it!

As far as waiting for the 2010s, well, y'll have to order one, and you will pay top $$ with very little discounting, if any. I got $250 off msrp for my ordered 2009, but Im a repeat customer.

So, general rule: lot stock = discounts possible, ordered = not so likely

 

$1000 off MSRP is pretty good

 

what he said.

 

Any discount beats the discount I got - nada.

 

I just got $750 off and no hidden dealer fee. Dealer still has about $2g's in the deal, they are not going out of business........

Ordered my 2010 and paid sticker - supply and demand!

 

Ordered 2010 and am getting $1000 off MSRP. Like others have said, with my nicely equiped car, there's still about $2k in the deal for the dealer.

 

$500 over invoice any car on the lot--last feb 09--san francisco

 

i got around $1400 off sticker for 09 MCS last friday... in los sngeles area
DS /w black top, premium, sports with factory painted 17" web spoke, auto ,
comfort bluetooth/ipod, anthracite headliner, piano black trim

 

I'd take that deal in a heart beat!

MSRP+$595 dealer monopoly fee here on Cooper S (+$400 for justacooper). No negotiating on a $30,000+ Mini. No discount on accessories. My MA (great guy BTW) said the owner said he wasn't making any money in this economy, yet he "won the bid" to build only the second mini dealer in Washington. Riiight... Thank you Morristown Mini! I just spent $1600+ on accessories there (20% off discount)

 

which dealer?

 

Bought my mini today. I got $500 off the MRSP. Irvine BMW/MINI gave me free wheel locks and mats. Also, they gave me the white bonnet stripes cause I was waiting for a long time for the finance guy.

 

Was this for one off the lot or an order?

 

off the lot. if you check with carsdirect.com , you should be able to get a discount of the mrsp for 2010 order.

 

well... i got mine at long beach mini in california... ( i was able to pay 8.75% sales tax because i'm orange county resident)
they threw me free wheel locks and my MA wanted to give me free floor mats but he wanted $3 more on monthly payment ( 5 yr finance) so i paid floor mats seperate and i got 10% discount on floor mats ! but now i'm thinking i should have gotten cosmopolitan floor mat or JCW checker floor mats... they look nicer than regular mini floor mats

 

I got $1250 off at 27K Clubman S I ordered a couple months ago up here in northern California. The economy sucks and Minis aren't that special really. Same styling for years.
