Hello, I have been doing an incredable amount of research on dealers for southern Ca mini lovers. Mountain View-good service but $2500 prem. East Bay Mini no prem but Incredable wait. Long Beach mini- no prem,incredable wait plus sometimes good and somtimes bad service. Crevier Mini-$3500 over msrp if you order and $5000 if you buy it off the lot, short list. Universal Mini $6000 over msrp with dealer crap, short list nice pepole. Irvine Mini not sure of prem but, nice pepole.Las Vegas mini $2500 prem dont care atitude. Assle Mini thieves enough said. The best dealer I came acrose is Roadshow Mini. They are at MSRP,can get a car in four months and are incredably nice. the only draw back is $800 to $1000 dollar shipping fee to CA plus a $85 dollar out of state fee. They are located in Memphis TN. Unless the So Cal dealers stop "stealing" from buyers or the ones that are being good boys and girls get shorter lists that is where I will be buying from. There is suppose to be two dealerships opening up in LA (LA-8,central vally-0). may be there is hope.

I feel lucky that Roadshow MINI was the first and only dealership I dealt with. Until I looked at the message boards I thought everyone's MINI experience was as easy as mine. I ordered my MINI there and it went into production within 10 days and is scheduled to be delivered in three weeks (only 8 weeks from the date I ordered it). The saleperson, Dorian, was fantastic. I highly recommend Roadshow MINI.

theguy I talked to was Troy Moss. Very cool guy. He let my wife and I play with the Minis in the show room as long as we wanted. how long ago did you order your Mini? Do you live in memphis or are you out fo stste? wich one,color ect. did you order? did you get any free stuff?

thank you Tavis1

How about the dealer in Nashville? I have family there and it would be very convenient for me to buy a MINI there, show it to my family, and drive it back home to CA.

tavis...
i live in little rock, ar, so memphis is out of state for me, but still my closest dealer. i ordered my mini at the very end of feb. and chose the british racing green cooper with white top and mirrors, premium pkg, cold pkg, xenons, white bonnet stripes, driving lamps, DSC, CVT, rain sensors, h/k audio, cordoba beige leather, anthracite interior and a kitchen sink.

i have not received any free stuff as of yet, but that is probably due to the fact that i have yet to visit the dealership in person. but i will be doing that on thurs (to drool for a while and see what they'll give me for miss goldie, my faithful 89 acura legend). i'll report back with any freebies. which car did you get? any free stuff i should know to push for?

Hmmm.... I checked out the inventory in Nashville but had already decided to check out what Memphis had. I don't have the patience most of you seem to posess. Once I find one on the lot that suits me, I'm drivin' it home!

Good to hear the news about Roadshow though.

If you are looking for a Cooper, or MCS and want it next week - check out the folks at MINI of the Hamptons in Southampton, NY (Long Island). They have a lot full of cars available for immediate delivery. I ordered my MCS and had a production slot 3 weeks from when I placed the order. I flew over and picked it up and drove it home, but they can arrange shipping as well. Probably about $1,000 to the West Coast, but still cheaper than any premium I saw quoted.

You can check out their inventory at www.miniofthehamptons.com

Hi, Thanks for the responses. Sorry it took so long to get back but, my hard drive fried last week. M.B.Tech 208; I don't know about the Nashvile dealer. I'm rock solid with Roadshow after dealing with SoCal dealers. Love you Dead; I did not order mt Mini yet I need to pay off some bills first. However, it will be red MCS with a white top Premeum & sport packages. I've heard of pepole getting hats, pens, T-shirts. well got to load back my favorites.

tavis1,
Did you contact the MINI dealer in Salt Lake City?
They told me I could get an S in 6 months for MSRP.

Shipping costs would be less or hell, drive it down thru
Utah!!!

Hi thanks for the info on Utah. The order wait at roadsho is a little shorter. If you can uderstand SoCal dealers and when you find a great dealer it it such a relief. This month and next I'm plannig to go to L.A. to do some updateing and to see if thigs have improved. stay tuned!
