R50/53 What did you get when you bought your MINI?
What did you get when you bought your MINI?
my dad milked the salesman when he bought me my mini, he got 2 watches, that robot model thing, a license plate holder, Cooper S floor matts and some other stuff i cant remember. did anyone else get some cool stuff while bargaining?
A freakin key chain...and I had to keep asking for it. Then the manager came over and gave me a shirt (2 sizes too big), an earpiece for my cell phone...and that's it. Good for you for getting so much!
I got $50 to use on MINI merchandise at the dealer boutique (I picked out 2 shirts and a keychain). After delivery I nagged my MA constantly about the glove box and how stuff kept falling out until he caved and hooked me up with the glove box organizer. I thought that was fair, I truely didn't expect anything to be thrown in. I had never received anything when I purchased previous vehicles.
I got two metal key chains and two pens (both engraved with dealer info). I think that's pretty weak for a $30K+ purchase. I think in would be more in the MINI spirit to do AT LEAST the $50 gift cert.

I'm obviously not up with car financing but is six years common in financing cars now? (As you can tell we don't buy a lot of cars and don't finance for six years)

You know, an extra $25 a month applied to principle goes a long way to cut it down fast. I think it is REALLY good when kids (sorry, 17 makes you a kid to me) buy their own cars. I think they appreciate them more. But then I'm just an old fuddy-duddy so what do I know. 

But look at it this way.... you make those payments and you'll have great credit!
I got the iPod adapter. At first they were going to charge me for it, but since I added the roof rack and complained so much about the installation (too expensive) they were kind enough
to throw in for free the adapter.

I got the Mini rubber floor mats front and back, the nice metal Mini keychain, the big cup holder accessory, a matching Mini diecast car, and Mini mints!
I was very surprised and extremely happy with my purchasing experience. Went through Classic Mini of Mentor, Ohio. One of our sponsors here...great folks!

i agree that im a kid, and until i turn 18, my name legally cant even be on the loan :( so one of the payments will end up going towards my dads credit, then when i turn 18, and i get my name on the loan. the rest of the payments will goto my credit too.



It came free with the big smile and the harty hand-shake....
