I'm going to order a new 06. Its either going to be a Cooper or a S. I'm almost sure on the specs but not quite.
I'm not sure yet where to order yet either! I want to pick up in the Midwest somewhere, because late this summer I'm coming back to the mainland and I want to visit family there and pick it up then road trip back to where we're moving (with pets in tow). Anyone have experience with the Minneapolis dealer? Or should I go with Patrick near Chicago? I have contacted both as of yesterday and am awaiting response.
Tips, hints, secrets? Special handshakes for freebies? Spill it here...

Thanks!

 

Give Knauz MINI a call; top notch service; and a great sales dept; my MA stilll knew me even after I wasn't able to stop by while being out of town for 10 months

 

John Giuliano (sp?) at Patrick sold me my '06 MCS. Overall it was a great experience, and John really knows his stuff.

Classic MINI in Mentor Ohio is a sponsor of this site and has a great reputation for treating NAM members very well and giving a few goodies for free along with a no mark-up or unnecessary extra charges.

Give Julie Saxa a call and say hi to her for me!

Last I heard Julie was gone

 

Oh no! She was so great to us! I guess you can go ahead and buy your MINI at any old dealership now. . .

 

This might be out of your range, but "Lisa" at Baron BMW in Kansas City is pretty good.

 

Julie left before my MCS was delivered on March 4, 2006. The others that remain at Classic are still top notch.

 

I'm sure they are and we'd probably buy from them again.

 

The Minneapolis Dealer is great. Give Gretchen or Sarah a call or email. Check their web site http://motorwerksmini.com they usually have a good selection on the lot to choose from too... MSRP and if your lucky you can talk them out of floor mats.
