As the subject says really, what sort of discounts are dealers giving on a MCS at the moment?

I have managed to negotiate £600 off a £20,800 car and they also threw in free delivery (a 400 mile round journey). Does that sound good, or is there more room to manoeuvre?

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 24th, 2007, 09:30 AM

Free stuff is always good too! Well done though! Thats quite impressive.

FergusM · Sep 24th, 2007, 09:36 AM

I got nothing off the car...

but managed to get a discount off the JCW Aero kit, iPOD kit...and got TLC for free... basically I got something off the dealer things.

That's what they must be doing then, because I have specced the JCW bodykit and TLC as well.

Scrogg · Sep 24th, 2007, 09:44 AM

£600 off any new MINI is very good, so I'm not trying to put a downer on things, but Free Nationwide Delivery is a standard service offered by all MINI dealers

ratbag98 · Sep 24th, 2007, 01:35 PM

Full tank of fuel and TLC off a £22k spec. At the garage waiting for me, I collect next Thursday. Not that I'm excited or anything... If I'd got the 120D instead, I would have got 3000 off list price with the same value for P/X on either car. But then I would have had three years of dull motoring.

kmpowell · Sep 24th, 2007, 05:41 PM

FergusM · Sep 24th, 2007, 06:20 PM

I'd dump the hi-fi upgrade and spend money on an aftermarket system..probably also dump the sunroof and spend money on LSD, DSC...and a MFSW.

kmpowell · Sep 24th, 2007, 06:28 PM

Cheers for the comments Fergus,

I'm not into aftrmarket stero and the Hi-Fi is 10x better than standard, so that's staying.

Sunroof is essential because I come from convertible/targa cars, so a solid tin makes me feel chlostrophobic (as I found out with my last car, a MKV R32). I can't see the point of a MFSW in such a small car. I do take your note about the LSD though, I think I might add that to the spec.

MFSW is worth it for cruise control IMHO !

splashed100 · Sep 24th, 2007, 07:01 PM

Hi

Spec looks very similar to my 2008 model R56 Cooper S

I have also the visibility pack, LSD, piano black trim and the full leather trim.

Visibility pack gives the car that extra bit of style and sophistication. It is also brilliant in the winter.

LSD helps the car put the power down.

Piano black trim goes well with a P/W car with the cream line interior

The full leather trim really lifts the interior and is much better quality that the R53 full leather seats. Makes the interior smell nice too.

This all part of the fun of specing a mini, they are all different as everyone has different tastes.

Its you car, enjoy choosing your spec.

Have Fun

LSD is very cheap for what you get... MFSW good as it give you cruise and stereo controls are not the best lay out.... I went for it as I got the iPOD kit and means I can skip all the bad music on the stereo...

Aftermarket stereo can be 100% hidden, that is the way I'm going as got scared of hi-fi option after readung a few bad reports on it..

AidenL · Sep 24th, 2007, 07:13 PM

And the multi-function saves you having to battle with the illogical stereo controls - just use the wheel buttons instead

MFSW is a must - see the S Speccin' Thread

Surely it would have made more sense to just not put the bad music on your iPod in the first place?

Agree with all the MFSW comments. The MINI is one car that needs it!

I couldn't bring myself to spec the MFSW on the grounds that it makes the wheel look like the controls of a Sony Playstation

Washy · Sep 24th, 2007, 08:12 PM

MFSW everytime...

MINIAC · Sep 24th, 2007, 08:20 PM

I don't think Cream White Color Line will look good with the Silver Check dash face.

Hadn't spotted that!

As splashed100 has already said, Piano Black would be the way to go with Pepper White and the Cream White Colour Line

Jon Robson · Sep 24th, 2007, 08:43 PM

I ummed and ahhed about the MFSW and thanks to advice on here went for it in the end, it is worth every penny for the cruise control and the stereo is so much easier and safer to operate.

I hadn't spotted that either. Bugger! I don't like piano black and I prefereably want a splash of colour somewhere... back to the drawing board then.
