I got two keyfobs, a cap, a pen, some mints, and brochures for more MINI stuff. I reckon that I could have got more if I pressed them, but I'm happy with those.
It would have been nice to get some champagne though! I'd guess that it would be a teensy bottle of unknown quality fizz. No Cristal or Moet then for buying a £14,500-22,000 car?

I got a bottle of bubbly with mine and the wire keychain ahs just bust for a 2nd time !

In the deal I got a FULL tank of petrol and not much else. Haven't picked the car up, but hopeful of something else when the car is picked up next week. Will post and let you know. They were doing a deal at the time on in stock minis, with the Suapguard polish thingy thrown in. I chanced my arm and tried to get this as well. Doesn't look like it will be forthcoming.

smartbomb · Jul 16th, 2003, 11:04 PM

I think the dealers are still being very stingey with freebies....shame on them !
It's not about getting stuff I know, but we all like to get it !

Tonymini · Jul 16th, 2003, 11:32 PM

You would not believe the stuff I got when I picked up the car.Besides gas and mints the dealer gave me the entire Mini CD collection a Coffee cup that fit perfectly in the cup holder.
Plus every week for a while I was getting stuff from Miniusa
The unauthorized manual I got 2 of.. plus signs stickers books Even a set of car bingo boards. it seemed like every week something was coming in the mail. But then it all stopped, said to my wife you think we bought a Rolls or something. Plus I can go to the dealer to visit and they offer to wash my car every time I go. Believe It or Not.

I got free TLC with mine... not a lot but better than nothing!! I found it very difficult to get anything atall.

smartbomb · Jul 17th, 2003, 01:24 PM

Tonymini - class 0f 2003 champion ! Crumbs that's amazing....and I thought I did OK.

Full tank of petrol, I had agreed that too, but they were a bit stingy and most definately hadnt brimmed it !!!...

I also got a bottle of wine and two cut glass wine glasses with a BMW logo !!!!

smartbomb · Jul 17th, 2003, 01:35 PM

As well as the stuff I mentioned when we picked up the car, I popped in to have a quote on a small paint scuff the other day and they gave me a REALLY funky Mini fridge magnet. Even better than that - even though its TINY, its got a friction motor, so you can pull it back on a flat surface and it screams off across the floor (or your desk at work - like mine). Cracking!

smartbomb · Jul 18th, 2003, 03:48 PM

Those mini MINIs are awesome ! got one from the motorshow....

supercharged99 · Jul 18th, 2003, 07:34 PM

check this..got all the usual paperwork--key ring--mini thermo mug--mats--flowers--full tank of gas,but best of all free 17"alloys!!! yes,you read it right.i ordered my super cooper s and it came with the white alloys(no good).
so bmw said i could gave a set of 17" for 1000 pounds.noway!!!,could get a set of 18" for that.then they offered a set off the demo car for 500 pounds.only done 1100 miles.fair deal i said.when it came to the break down of the accessaries,no fee for the alloys...did not complain or query,and its been 6 weeks and i am still a happy dude.so,beat that!!!!!!!!

smartbomb · Jul 18th, 2003, 08:29 PM

Nice one !
Things are on the up for MINI buyers !
Best I go get another one...cabrio or S ??

Shorty · Jul 18th, 2003, 08:35 PM

When I picked mine up my girlfriend wanted to buy a MINI shirt, but they gave it her for nothing. I paid £17,500 & she got a free shirt!

No Golf Clubs at all · Jul 18th, 2003, 10:28 PM

Still to pick mine up but confirmed to day I got the Supaguard polish and the petrol thrown in. They were trying to flog that polish for £200! nonsense.

smartbomb · Jul 20th, 2003, 10:23 PM

I got the superguard stuff..still in the garage ! Rememeber about half a tank of fuel too...

Better be more generous next time 'round..!

andyd · Jul 21st, 2003, 06:43 PM

Just picked up my MCS today - got two keyrings (chrome and orange plastic), about half a tank of petrol + really nice bottle of red wine. All I wanted was the car so more than pleased. What I didn't want was a shower / monsoon when I collected - ahh well had to get dirty sooner or later.

Guuyuk · Jul 21st, 2003, 06:57 PM

Let's see...
Being nice enough to keep my car in the showroom while hurricane Claudette was blowing across the city (as the loan paperwork from the credit union was sent by turtle express)
Full tank of petrol
Nice engraved MINI logo keyring (dealership name and phone number on the back)

...after a bit of whining about $20US difference in price due to fees, etc.:

Grey Carpet floor mats (4)
One music CD from the rack ("We don't know why they have us display these here...")
A promise to be annoyed by survey people ("...4 is a failing grade...")

smartbomb · Jul 21st, 2003, 11:16 PM

OK so the keyrings are popular !

I think someone needs to go for the jugular now ! The car has been on sale over 2 years and it's about time somebody put up a fight to buy one ! Goodies to the tune of a couple of hundred should be on the cards !

Think CD players, RC cars and free TLC !

Good luck !

Velocity, for example, will be expressed in furlongs per fortnight.
