[GMINI]

Just accumulated several buyers for MoFC by driving around my awesome s in lower NYC last night after midnight.

Maybe not such a smash there. But I wasn't expecting any reaction in NYC either.

No apparent problems with memory options.
No surprises, nothing "FREE", no 'T' shirt. Just some roses for the better half Very nice ones, actually, not the usual cheap, no smell, roses from South America, but some very fragrant local stuff.

Oops, time to motor, I'm outta here!

GIMINI and b. baggins: add me to the Peter Braun fan club!

Partly because of your posted experiences, we decided to get our new '04 EB/B MCS from Peter at Mini of Fairfield County, and couldn't be happier!

As with your previous experiences, Peter promptly replied to my many, many emails and diligently and knowledgeably answered about a bizillion questions. MSRP, no pressure, no bull, relatively short delivery time (~8 weeks). Basically, the guy loves MINIs: I can't imagine a better way to start your motoring life than with PB at MoFC!!

You guys make my day! Thanks!

Get 2 ~ they're small

BIG THANK YOU to MINI of FAIRFIELD COUNTY for treating us to a FANTASTIC day at LIMEROCK!!!!

Also: I will be recommending the dealer sans exception now that they DO PROVIDE loaner or rentalis gratis for serviced MINIs!!!!! You do not know how much this revised policy has transformed my opinion of MINI customer service. Made my day! Thank you again!

I suddenly feel very positive about my dealership, not only the awesome people who work there. Now, if only MINIUSA could leave MiniCooperOnline alone, I could succumb to absolute marquee bliss.

[NEMINI]

good to hear that policy change, hope I never need it but if I ever need more then a 1/2 service I would need a loaner cause its too damn far to ask mum or dad to follow me down and then bring me back.

This is my first post on this wonderful site which is filled with useful info, so first I must say many thanks to all of you!

A special thanks right now for those who have posted about this particular dealership. As luck would have it, after a wonderful test drive with Bob who couldn't have been more gracious and good natured, we met with Fabrizio Reda and within a short time learned that we'd be expecting delivery of our new 2004 Indi Blue Cooper in the beginning of December. Let me say right now that Fabrizio Reda is a credit to his company, and his counrtry - never had such a pleasant and fun car buying experience.

Perhaps we can have a joint birthday celebration GMINI03?

I can't tell you what a pleasant experience we had from my first phone call through our test drive, discussions, trade in talks til our handshake!

Back in the spring I'd walked into MINI of Manhattan and met with a very nice Joshua Shull, but I just wasn't ready to take the leap... Then last week I took a miniature test drive over at MINI of Westchester in Elmsford because they'd finally gotten a CVT in. Although my advisor was a nice young man, I didn't feel that I'd learned too much or come away feeling 100%. Called them back two days later, not waiting for his call that didn't seem to come...and found they'd sold their one and only CVT! After declining the chance to drive a manual transmission version, since I was not planning on buying one!, I gave Fairfield a call - wish I'd followed through with them initially because then I'd be a month or more into the delivery process.

Thanks to your information, especially yours GMINI03 about their new policy of loaner cars... we headed up there today...and the rest is waiting to be built!

Again, many thanks for this excellent site!

YW Glad you are joining the 'family' Where about's are you in NY? I'm just on the putnam/westchester border (croton falls)

[ontheroadagain]

I'm in Rye, NY...right near the sound! Near, but not on, alas.

[NEMINI]

Beautiful but expensive area I've done a lot of work in that area

[ontheroadagain]

LOL! Yes, it is - for the most part anyway. I live in the less expensive part of town. As far as I know there are only two MINIs currently residing within the city limits...soon to be 3.

Tell me, are do you currently have a MINI but are about to get a new one?

[NEMINI]

I took delivery on nov. 5th 2002 ... next one won't be until 2006 when this one is paid off lol

[ontheroadagain]

Oh, OK - somehow I must have gotten confused by an old post or something! I can see why you wouldn't be in the market right now. By the way, have they stopped making that beautiful green silk color? I would have had a tough time deciding on colors if that one was still available. I love that one GMINI03!

[NEMINI]

yeah they stopped making around december 2002 and I love that it's been discontinued, my car will remain rare

[ontheroadagain]

Went up and signed the papers today with an eye towards actually taking possession of my Indie MINI within the next week to ten days. Just wanted to reiterate what a pleasant and low key dealership this is: pulled in amidst howling winds only to see my MA talking to some folks about a beautiful silk green 2002 MINI...he waved and said hi - used my name - and then I walked in only to be met by two well known posters on here who also called me by name - albeit my cyber name. Since my MA was busy, one of these guys very nicely helped me out without a second thought. Good business style up there.

Thanks Scott, appreciated your help very much!

I just ordered an 05 Cooper S from Fabrizio Reda. I work across the street and I've been going over to look at the mini's all the time. Every time they have always been helpful and never tried to sell anything to me.

I can highly recommend them. Also they should have 3 Cooper S places open for a July 05 build. If anyone wants one, they should hurry up and contact them.
