Gold-digging thieves MINI dealerships thread
 
So the little round inside door reflector is missing on my MCS and I cant stand the little things like that so I call the dealer (NW Mini) to order a new one. They are charging me $12!!! What a frickin ripoff. It should be like $1. I couldnt find anything else that would fit and want it so I paid, but I just wanted to share how thievish and gold digging MINI dealers really are. I'm surprised they don't charge us a pen rental fee for using their pen when we sign the paperwork. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I do like how those little angry faces dance though.:nod:

Any other outrageous little charges out there that you would like to share?

Rick, you saved the day again. First your engine bay pics yesterday, and now this. You are the man. If you PM me your address I will mail you a self adressed and stamped envelope today.

:mad: TAKE THAT NW MINI!!! YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY MONEY!!! (well not today at least)

I think I caught them before the charged it. But if there is a $20 restocking fee for the $12 order I'll burn the place down I swear. Free MINI's for everyone!

I agree that $12 is a lot for a little reflector, but they were probably charging you the list price for the part. For future OEM parts, try calling Classic MINI and they will sell for 20% off. . .

Even better though is a NAM member willing to help a friend out! :thumbsup:

I noticed the other day one of my 'S' valve cap ends is missing. Wonder how much that puppy would cost? :roll:
