Just a suggestion for anyone else that is or will be looking for a new/used mini. I live in Arizona, but bought my cooper s in Miami FL. At the time, they had 28 cars ready to go. That was last year. I just looked into getting my wife a 05 S automatic... called Miami, and they had 3 ready to go, total of 20 coopers/S's on the lot at the time. NO mark ups. If I had wanted to order one, they could have had one for me in 3-4 weeks. When I got my S last year, It cost 700 to ship, and was in Phoenix in 3 days. At the time, they even work the #s to off set the shipping costs. ( gave a slight discount ). Not saying they will always do that, but I would be happy to pay for shipping ( or just go get it myself and motor home) then to pay some dealer a "Market adjustment" or "dealer (bend over customer so we can stick it to ya) markup". Integrity in the tight market.. Braman Miami.. you rock

 

What did you swap out for the r90s? I had sent you a message last week about the R 90s but I guess you did not get the message. I pick up my Mini from them in two weeks, would have loved to have had the chance to get them. Oh well !

 

I decided to take the R90s that are on the car. Honestly, it's not something I would have chosen myself. Mike said they could work something out to swap the R90s for something else, but I finally decided to just go for it. I don't know if I got a deal or not considering the wheels+tires were $2500 - the same as the mark-up - and I probably should have done more homework where it was all concerned, but I don't think any of that is going to matter once I get behind the wheel on Saturday.

Now if only the rain would stay away...

As for the PM you sent, I am a newbie and didn't realize it was there. Sorry. But I think I am already in love with my bad-*** wheels.
