Only had to wait eight days to get my Mini S. Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Yes I did a bit of begging, but, it was the sales manager who, after my third visit, let me on to a secret, at least, at thier franchaise, based on there volume,told me that they were given 6 models to demo a month and at the end of the month they sell them. I asked him what was coming in on the next shipment and he showed me the list. I picked from the list, with a 500.00 deposit, a silver on silver, premium package, black leather, alarm, $23,500.00. Expected a month wait, got it in eight days. It turns out that the dealer "Got Dumped 30 extra cars the same day! Called me seven days later and said "come and get it"! Feeling extremely lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm...$23,500...sounds like it's selling for $1000 over list. But hey - if I had to do it all over again, $1000 is definitely worth not waiting!!!
