For what reasons did you chose your dealer?

Thats quite true, you can find the scruffiest person can in fact have the most money because they dont normally spend it.
But why go in scruffy? only takes a sec to put something decent on, provided one has something decent that is.

I just fancied the girl on reception.

Cooper, Croydon. Could not fault them and would recommend to all.

Mini downtown in Toronto, Ontario... Best deal, however due to there lack of knowlege i woukd not choose them again. Very friendly though just didnt have a good experience.

Why should anyone have to dress up smart to look at a car???

Checking a car over, for me, includes getting on my hands and knees, checking underneath, checking suspension and exhaust components etc, why would anyone want to dress up for that?

I always quite deliberately DOWN-dress when shopping for cars, any dealer that makes the error of judging me on my fashion sense, or because I haven't shaved that day simply won't get my business.

So, well done to Phil Merryweather at Cooper Teeside for not judging us, we're picking up our late 2010 MCS Auto tomorrow (our 2nd Mini).

This is a 300 mile round trip for us, chose this dealer initially because they had the right car, simple as that, but Phil has been patient and courteous throughout, even offering to come into work on his day off to test drive the car with us personally.

Just googled mini dealers near Canterbury and went from there.

I went to Wellsway Mini in Bath, mainly because they were the closest but another reason was for the absolutely brilliant pre-sales advice on the phone before I even entered the dealership! I have always found them to be absolutely impeccable, even if my next door neighbour disagrees and would recommend them to anyone!

Chose mine because they're the only certified dealer in my area

My sales guy at Mini Downtown Toronto is good at what he does. He somehow lured me back after my 3 year lease. Didn't even want the countryman to begin with.

Bonton - Did you less than MSRP after any MINI approved discounts (i.e. free automatic, free ALL4, etc.)?
