I rather agree. My dealer is getting my money for features I want, like a Boomerang Vehicle Tracking system, All the rubber floor mats, boot net, winter tires on 15" alloys... They know I'm happy to buy some extras from them, and they're not gouging me for paint sealants, or rust treatments, or pre-loading the car with options.

But it is a very different situation in Canada. I haven't heard of anyone in Canada getting ripped off my MINI yet. I think MINI Canada has more control over the dealers, than MINI USA does.
