Sold MINI

Don't Worry Not MY Mini! I went to Long Beach Mini tonight to pick up the Torex Bolts I had ordered to replace the stripped ones in my downtubes. Anyways I had just walked out of the parts department when one of the sales guys came out to me with an older couple. He started asking me questions on how my experience buying from them was and how I liked the car. The I start chatting with the couple, next thing I know Im on the test drive with them and the sales rep. The whole time the sales rep is just sitting in the back next to me. Im pointing out all the controls and functions. Well anyways 40 minutes later they finall decide to buy it. They bought a beautiful 2006 Pepper White Mini Cooper Cabrio. I told them about NAM and to register as soon as they got home! If you guys read this then best of luck with the new Mini, Ken and Susan!

Now Long Beach Owes me Commisson!!!

Hon, I've sold so many MINIs for them since 2002, Long Beach should have me on their payroll! That is cool that Ken and Susan bought a MINI...I hope you told them about NAM. Who was selling...Matt or Tony, or one of their assistants?

I didnt catch the sales reps name. He was an African American gentlemen. I bought two Mini's from Long Beach one in 2002 and one in 2004.

That's a great story. Something similiar happend to me last week. The day after we picked up our new MCS, I had to go back to the dealer to grab some mats. Anyway, this couple was out looking at a Pepper White Cabrio and I looked over as I got out of mine and said "Don't think about it, just do it!" They laughed and said "we are!"

Thats pretty cool. This was only my second time in a Cabrio. Its pretty nice. I hate anything without a top though. (well just on cars anyways ) I dont like the wind in my hair it sorta bugs me.

I sold MINIs for a living for a few weeks. Great job, good money, horrible hours.

But I also have sold many MINI since 2002. MINIUSA should also keep me in their payroll account......
