This should probably be on the Dealer Rating page, but it will get a wider audience here. I have been reading this page for sometime after first learning about the Minis in the early summer. Very informative. I ordered one tonite from Crown Mini here in Richmond. Dark silver/white with #1 package and 17" wheels. Very pleasent experience, and I get an October build with Nov. delivery. I was surprised! My question to those out there who have bought from Crown is: the $599 add-on for clear-coat and mats. What's up with that? I balked and got the saleslady to come off it $200, but it still irks me. Paying for something I don't want. I did not see this on the ratings page, and was wondering what experience others have had.
