Ive been hearing different numbers most are either $500 or $1000, im curious before i head over to the dealer how much i should expect to fork over to order my S. Thanks

At my dealership it was $1K.

Welcome to MCO!

Motorwerks Mini in Minneapolis requires a $1000 deposit (or at least they did in July).

My dealer required $500, but it may have changed now.

Congrats on your first post!

My dealer was asking for $500.

I secured mine with $500 to Motor City Mini in Detroit, Michigan. I believe enough time has passed from the initial launch to probably secure one with less.

Flow MINI in Winston-Salem, NC asked me for $500. And I gave it to them...

Just remember when you go to pick up the car that you put down that deposit. I actually had to write a second check becuase that had been overlooked initially...

My dealer, Crevier in SoCal, charged my $1,000. And, I was just there Friday, and they are still charging $1,000, but only when you order. You don't have to put down a deposit if you buy a pre-spec'd one off of the lot...well, unless you trade in an aztek!

2000 at MINI of murray for a MCS, and that was like 8 months ago. Picking up my car in january.

Long Beach MINI in SoCal does not take any deposit!!! If you don't accept your MINI, someone else will! I kept trying to throw $$$ at them all through the process, but Tony Lage, my motoring advisor, advised me to collect the interest on my dough! Pretty cool, huh?

Welcome tunerjetta29! Where are you located?

Cheers!

Irvine MINI asked for a $1000 deposit. I was going to use Long Beach MINI, but I was too impatient to wait before I could place an actual order so I took the mark up along with a deposit and went with Irvine.

When i put my money down they said "you have to put down a $500 deposit to order" then my fiance said, "ok $500 though? <using her female powers>" and then the dealer said "ok maybe we can settle for like $250".

This was at Motor City Mini, too bad we had to cancel the order, hopefully within 6 months i'll place the new order, anyways, they keep making new things, ie, new pedals, steering wheels, they added black as a MCS color!

At Don Rosen Mini in Philadelphia, PA it was $500 (as of September, 2002)

Welcome and know now that the wait will make you into a kid again!

My dealer only required $1000, but I gave them $4000.

Aloha! MINI of Hawaii only requires $500 for both the MC and MCS ...all at msrp. Just saw an all black, pre spec'd, basic MCS with no options for $19,925 on the back lot...very tempting, but I'll wait for MINIhune. SHAKA!

welcome!! MINI Cooper

Hello tunerjetta29! Welcome to the MCO!

At MINI Northscottsdale, I put 1,000 down to stay on the waiting list. Then another 1,000 to place the order. Total out of pocket 2,000.

No more needed on delivery.

Century MINI required deposit of $1500 in Sept. 2002 for my MCS. I placed the deposit on 9/29/02 and drove my DS/B MCS home on 11/23/02

$500 at Lauderdale MINI in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

As of 10/19/02 @ Motorwerks MINI in Mpls - $1,000,000.00 down (less the $999,000.00 instant rebate). I think that ended up to be roughly a grand.
