Did any of these two places charge you anything else besides MSRP, titles/taxes?

Curious as I"ll be buying a 05 in a few months, but am unable to talk to them about pricing. I definately don't want to get taken so I'm doing my homework. I am also willing to purchase further away (as others suggest) but want to know if these two dealesr are out to gouge or not.

Thanks!

It might help to check the dealer ratings. Click on dealer rating system in the features section of the main menu box. There are 30+ reviews on each of the dealers you mentioned. Don't let them take you for any add on BS. It even makes me mad when they take someone elses money for nothing.

I looked at the dealer rating system a while ago, and just did it recently before I stopped by this week. One person mentioned a "protective paint coating" which to me sounds like pure profit for the dealer. What do you all think?

Good afternoon from sunny Southern California,you might want to take a trip up
I-95 to Mini of the Hamptons.I met a guy filling his wife's car up and we started
talking and he went out of state because Mini of the Hamptons was selling at
MSRP! Sounds like a road trip is in order.run up to NEW YORK pick up a mini
on the way back to Florida stop off in Atlantic City win a little money go home
MOD the dickens out of the mini, good luck

Yes, as you suspected "protective paint coating" is near 100% dealer profit. No way you need to pay for such nonsense.

thanks! I think when I talk to the salesperson, I am going to just lay it down. Tell them I will pay them MSRP plus taxes/titles etc. Nothing else. Is that what you guys do?
