Included at Delivery

What has everyone recently (late 2004's, 2005's) had included with their purchase?

Do dealers include floor mats, rubber or carpet? Or are they going stingy. I suppose that it could depend on the dealer so lets see who got what included for the bottom-line price of their mini without having to shell out extra cash.

(I would love to just get a set of rubber mats: front, rear, boot.)

With Louie all I got was the cloth floor mats for the $500 dealer charge at MINI of St. Louis. Not even a free key ring The dealer charge at Roadshow is $250 & I haven't been told any thing is included except maybe a handshake & a free tank of gas to get me back to St. Louis Maybe I could squander a free dinner at one of the local barbeque restaurants

I got a dealer keyring (not one of the MINI ones) and that's about it. I paid for my mats and license frame. Nothing extra here.

I got my choice of floor mats, dealer key ring (a nice metal one, not a cheapy), MINI Baseball cap, and the Minifini cup holder (though I think those were standard at the time) and a full tank of gas.--- no dealer markup.
My MA was awesome.

Who was your MA at MINI of St. Louis? I am waiting for my MCS to be shipped to Utah from that dealership. I am working with Devin Pinckard, who seems to do a great job. I also had to pay $500 dealer prep fee which includes floor mats. Were the mats for the front, rear, and boot?

Mini Key Ring, Full tank of gas, Mini Rubber Floor Mats (I told my MA I already had S Rubber Floor Mats so she threw in a Euro Parcel Shelf but left the MINI logo mats in the car) and most importantly received awesome service from Classic Mini.

Floor mats, cup holder, and Rally Lights! they put them on by accident, and they are not very easy to get off since you have to rivet them into the grill and bonnet, so they gave them to me! :smile:

My MA is gone. Devin took his place. I tried to work with Devin to order the Cabrio & maybe he didn't think I was serious about getting one because when I found out about the $1500 over MSRP, I asked if anything could be worked out since I was a repeat customer & he said NO. However, I test drove the Cabrio on Saturday & asked Kyle & he said something could be worked out
Well,too late now. They gave me front & backseat cloth floor mats. No boot mat.

Irrelevant, but for the sake of comparison......

:smile: When I bought my first 2002 Cooper, MINIclo, I was given a nice key ring and a MINI cap. When I traded in MINIclo for Wicked Wanda, a 2003 MCS, I was given yet another free key ring, carpet floormats and a MINI sweatshirt! And both times I bought from Long Beach MINI in SoCal and paid not a cent over MSRP!

*Edit: Oopsie! I forgot that both times the tank was full! :smile:

At Niello MINI in Sacramento...

Gotta tank of gas, mini key ring, full carpet floor mats, rear rubber boot mat, locking wheel lugs, windshield sun screen... and when I went back to have the AUX INPUT installed, the Service Mgr. gave me a MINI wings hat to match my car.
Also, I get unparalelled service from the entire staff at the dealership. It's always a pleasure to drop by there.
I paid $2495 over MSRP.

Tank of gas, MINI hat hat, matching red MINI car model, and thermost mug. Was hoping to get some floormats but hey, anything is better than nothing :smile: (especially with a car that had absolutely no options and paid MSRP)

We got the following when we picked ours up.

1) Full Tank of Gas (this should be std. & our MA couldn't believe that some dealers would actually send a car out with less than a full tank).

2) Two very nice metal Mini keyrings (one "Cooper S" ring and one "Mini/Let's Motor" ring)

3) Stuffed Mini Bulldog "Motoring Buddy" for the back-seat.

4) Motorwerks Mini Reg. Plate frames.

That's about it. We thought we managed to do pretty well. A lot of times all you have to do is ask for the stuff you want.

At MINI of Pittsburgh, I got free rubber floormats (with the purchase of the boot box) a key ring, an Italian Job DVD (which I got when I placed the order), tank of gas, and a really good interest rate (3.84%). I'm sure I could have squeezed some more freebies, but I'm having so much fun with the car, that I really don't care.

Only a full tank, mini cap and mints.

Oh, and *not* the HK sound system I had ordered, but *with* the aux gauges I had asked them not to install, yet were still installed and charged.

Classic Mini of Ohio Rocks

We got the rubber floor mats front and back, no boot. The new cup holder, I think that is standard now. Got the Mini key ring and the mints and the dealer threw in a couple of shirts. Full tank of gas and the dealer put his license plate frame on and threw in the front plate mount bracket. We bought a Outback last year and the Subaru dealer would not give us anything.

Classic Mini in Mentor Ohio only charges MSRP and does alot of internet sales check them out. They ROCK!!!!!
