Qualified opinion about Colorado mini dealer:

The reason I share this opinion is because it surprised me that a couple of threads mentioned issues with the dealership. After doing a search it seemed to be only one
or two people that felt this way.

Since I started one of those threads back if February, let me respond with my unqualified

opinion. I called the Schomp dealership in June 2001 and asked to have my name added to their interest list. Eight months later I sent my first e-mail asking when the dealership was going to open and when I could send in my deposit. For that I was berated by Ray V. by return e-mail, for bothering him and he requested that I not call or send any more e-mails. Ray then sent out a half-hearted apology in a mass-mailing e-mail with news from the dealership. I posted his e-mail on this forum out of frustration in not getting my question answered. Ray V. then posted a more complete and sincere apology to me on this forum. For me, that resolved my dissatifaction with the dealership for my treatment.

As of right now, I am neutral on the dealership and am waiting for them to contact me to order, when my number comes up on the waiting list. At this point they still have the opportunity to win my recommendation, depending on how they handle my order. They told me that I can purchase at MSRP with no dealer addons, but that is not stated on my deposit receipt. If they change their policy and won't honor the conditions I place my deposit under, then I will not buy a MINI and would not recommend them to my friends and associates for any make of cars they sell.

ficcion, what were your purchase terms? any mandatory accessories? I would like to know more about this "Honda/Mini"

that you bought from them.
