Has anybody tried to get a free remote controlled MINI with the purchase of their real MINI? You know, along with the floor mats and key chains they give you because of the dealer markup we're paying. I think I'm gonna go for the RC car. What do you think?

I was given the RC car for my birthday. It's lots of fun but it's very fast. Make sure you have lots of room or you'r just going to end up bashing it to the walls!

My only regret is that it's not an 'S' model.

I have one that isn't RC....but it looks just like my car so I love it....
Do they have them at the dealership? Or can you get them in stores?

They had one at the Concord dealership where I live. but it may have just been a display. they also have catalogs at the dealership that you can order stuff out of (shirts, hats, rc cars, etc.)

The only reason i'm getting a bunch of stuff is because my dealer ripped me off, so an eye for an eye? something like that! It is very possible that they can't afford it too, the dealers are only making a few hundred on each car!
