I live in the Carolinas "Charlotte area to be exact" and I am in the market for a 2002-2003 Mini Cooper S, I have been looking for a silver or grey with the panaramic sunroof that is reasonbly priced. If anybody knows where I can locate one close to my area please let me know.

 

Good luck with your search. With the resale value holding as well as it is, I don't know if you'll be able to come up with a "reasonably priced" MINI. Unlike other cars, used MINI's have been selling near MSRP. Great for present owners, but not so for those wanting to buy.

 

I know what ya mean, I cant even find one right now

 

Hendrick BMW on Independence Boulevard had three MINI's about five weeks ago. Two dark gray and one white over red. All three were supercharged. I believe all three were 2002's and they were "lease cars".



Uh... I got one of the dark gray's. :smile: Sweet!

Oh, and hi guys. New to the MINI board, but have been lurking for quite a while.

Kendel72 - give Henk at Century MINI in Greenville a call he has a used silver MCS on the lot. (864-234-6437 Century)

Kendel,

If I may suggest, don't get one that is an automatic! I had a loaner from Flow since my car was making a noise, come to find out, it was the recalled crankshaft hose, and they gave me a MINI Cooper loaner. I normally drive the S and the regular Cooper is not a bad drive, I just didn't care for the automatic for the car. You just don't get the pick up you do with a straight drive! :smile:

Other than that, it was a nice car to drive!

I called Henk and left him a message this morning and never heard back from him, I also called Century the other day and it took them almost 2 days to return my call so right now i am trying to deal with a salesman at FLOW

 

I traded my DS/B MCS to Century about 3 weeks ago. She just turned 25k miles and is EXTRA clean. She has a few mods (see sig). Henk and the other folks say very busy, so give him another call. Tell him Mike told you to check out his former ride

 

For some reason my sig line is not showing up, so here is a partial list of mods:
Magnaflow Exhaust
Tinted Windows
Aero Grill

Also have a Whalen Shift **** and SS skid plate (never installed) that I would be willing to sell.

 

if you'r egonna pay just a little under msrp for a new one, i have a 2005 that's for sale, just check the post 05 mcs for sale .... under marketplace, i'm asking exactly what i paid for it, you don't hafta wait, and it's got the options you want i'm seeing

 

That must be the one they are asking almost $25000 for

 

Yep, they are asking $24,760. Of course, that is the ASKING price

 

i'm asking 24k for mine, msrp, what i paid for it, electric blue, electric blue interior, white roof, white bonnet stripes, white wheels, sport package, dynamic stability control, xenon headlights, 17 inch sport wheels, cold weather package, heated seats, heated washer jets, panaramic moonroof/sunroof, black leatherette, 2005 Mini Cooper S, check out my post 05 MCS for pics!!

 

Is it just me or does all the BMW-Mini dealers think you owe them something? I am trying to deal with a salesman at Flow Mini but from some reason he keeps telling me he is checking on the car for me and he is crunching numbers but never returns my call! I have called him 3 times today and he keeps telling me that he was getting ready to call me then he says let me check on one more thing and I will call you back but never does.

 

Supply vs. Demand

Call Henk tomorrow

 

It is hard for me to swallow my pride because I left him a message 2 days ago and he has never returned my call besides Flow found me a 05 MCS Silver with the options I want, But thanks CUTiger I am a tiger fan also

 

Repeat: if you're gonna pay just a little under msrp for a new one, i have a 2005 that's for sale, just check the post 05 mcs for sale .... under marketplace, i'm asking exactly what i paid for it, you don't hafta wait, and it's got the options you want i'm seeing

 

I am in North Carolina and you are in Conneticut! You have a nice car but i am looking for a silver with black top

 

Has anybody on here dealt with Flow BMW/Mini?

 

Kendel72,

That's where I got my MINI. Ryan Cole was my sales dude, and I didn't have a problem with him. Very nice guy. He even stayed later when I went to go and look at the car before I bought it since I was coming up from Raleigh. As of right now, I've never had a problem with Flow at all. Although they don't have many MINIs on the lot, most of them they get are ordered and are sold by the time they get here.

Hope this helps!

Michelle

 

Ryan Cole was my salesperson as well at Flow. When I was there on Oct 6 I did not see him that day, and did not see his name on any of the windows/doors. Hope he hasn't left. Overall I have been really pleased with the service I get at Flow.

 

I do know that when I got my MCS from him in January, he didn't have an office, so maybe that is still the case! That would suck if he was gone! He was a super nice guy!!! I was planning on buying my second MINI from him as well, when the time is right to get a new one!

Michelle

 

I just saw Henk at lunchtime today. He said he never got your message. Sometimes if you leave a message at the BMW desk, they don't pass it on to the MINI guys..

 

Thanks bro! Funny thing happened me and my wife went to Flow this afternoon to drop off my deposit to have my 05 MCS Pure Metallic Silver shipped in from virginia and on the way home at 8:00PM I received a call on my cell phone from whom I assume was either Henk or John Silos but I coudnt hear good on my cell but they said that I had left them a message a couple of days ago about a used MCS and they were returning my call so I informed him that I was on my way home from FLOW and ordered a new one "I am so glad Flow talked me into buying a new one for the same price as a used one" LOL, I am sure Henk is a great guy but I just dont understand the mentality of some of these salesman not wanting to return calls

 

Oh By The Way Trainman I left him a message on his voice mail same as I did John
