Free stuff !

Just bought a new Cooper SD and got a £2000 discount off a 25k car, good deal to me.

Just ordered countryman cooper d and quite a lot of options. Priced it up on autoebid.com and it was coming up with about 5% discount. Took that in to the dealer and they very quickly matched 5% discount. Happy with that

We picked up our Countryman last Thursday. We got rubber floor mats, sunglass holder, 2 cup holders and a mobile phone holder for the center rail. Also, got an ipod connecting wire, 1 key chain and a water bottle. Now, I wonder if those typically come with a Countryman purchase anyway?

2002 Cooper: A hat and a bottle of wine.
2008 Challenge Racecar: A second set of rims with full slicks, 3 x air jack regulators and a lance, spare tail lights and a lightly damaged rear wing Shame it didn't come with any talent.

I got:

Full tank of diesel
Floor mats
Free reg transfer
and.... a cuddly toy! The Mini Bulldog, which initially I loved more than the car.

He'll be coming on my Mini Adventures with me, so I'll be sure to post a few pics.

I did very well with my new JCW (probably due to the drama of it arriving in the wrong colour due to head office screwing up and the dealer going out of their way to help me be happy).

- Mini "SIGG" Bottle
- Mini Racing Wall Clock
- Mini Pen & Tin
- Mini Umbrella
- I Love Mini Mug
- Bulldog Keyring (kinda neat actually)
- Stuffed Bulldog (on backorder!)
- A timber box with crackers, cutting board and knife, grape jelly, muscat raisins, nuts, and a voucher for a specialty cheese hamper to be delivered to me
- A few accessories thrown in as an apology

Oh and a substantial discount thanks to the colour problem (around 8% off of the already pretty good negotiated price I had), and a full take of fuel and 4 years included servicing (floor mats were already in there so i'm assuming they're standard on the JCW)

There wasn't much to throw in in the way of add-ons. All it really doesn't have is heated seats (useless in Australia for all but a few days), a sunroof (see heated seats) and the Nav/Voice/Business package (just Visual Boost). I did get the iPhone snap-in thrown in, but that's not working. BMW are now 'looking into it' as the kit supplied refuses to play media (they're claiming it's superseded as it didn't work properly??).

We picked up our new 2011 Cooper Clubman earlier in September we got :

- $ 3500 off sticker price
- a full tank of premium gas (petrol)
- a key chain ( with the dealer name on it )
- 3 t-shirts ( one for ea. of the kids and one for me )

The only reason we got this was because we decided on a floor model that was a manual transmission - due to the earthquake in Japan the automatic transmissions are in short supply and my dealer had an overstock of manuals and was willing to deal... MINI dealers in our area have NEVER ( at least for me ) moved off sticker price when I was shopping for a new MINI.

On a new Cooper SD Convertible I got
£2700 of list (better than autoebid...)
full tank of fuel
BMW care / cleaning kit
2 mini air freshners
2 oplympic official mascot toys
2 key rings (1 dealer / 1 Mini trolly token)
union flag dust caps

My Countryman is on order & I'm getting:

- front central armrest worth £140
- £975 discretionary discount
- £500 loyalty discount
- £500 towards deposit
- TLC worth £250

After discussing the APR on my finance, I was offered a lower rate

Somehow I think I've not come away with such a good deal after all when comparing with your fancy freebies? I wouldn't mind the bulldog, I am after all spending £27.7k....

[dsakko]

you save all those $$$ and won't cough up for the bulldog??

I couldn't resist and bought a Mini Challenge key ring when I bought my race car... it's an extravagance but after I'd spent so much on the car, why not.

I blame Mini and their awesome merch.

[RobbieA]

I am coming late to this party but on my Countryman Cooper SD All 4 I got:-

£1500 discount

Mini Oil top up kit
Rubber floor mats
Touch up paint
Smart pen (not MontBlanc)
2 x Mini key rings
Half tank of diesel
Spare bulb kit

I took my 2010 in for service in Nashville, TN as there are no dealers in my area. They did a great job and hooked me up with some free stuff. I just purchased the car at a local BMW dealership NON Mini dealer in KY, has only 14k miles. The Nashville dealer is only 100 miles away so no biggi.
1) A fine car wash with tires black and rainx on the windshield.
2) Mini Cooper gum, I didn't know that this existed and it is awesome gum.
3) A bottle of fuel injector cleaner, due to a hesitation that isnt a code.
4) Of course all of the service was free along with two recalls.
5) They gave me a mini cooper S to drive around Nashville all day and payed for the gas.
6) They gave me a bulldog keychain a $20 value.
7) They also gave me advice on where to go in Nashville that night,,, KEWL.
8) Free coffee or drinks while we were there.
Only negitive is they put a very light scratch on my roof that I didn't notice till I got home and my car hesitates sometimes on takeoff,,,not fixed,,, YET.

I got the life size English bull dog, the travel bag a thermal, cool hat full tank of gas sun glass snap in and life time car washes at the irvine mini. In southern ca, Now that's working with the sales manager Justin the man ,
When your spending over 30,000 it's there gift to us right?

[The Nun]

Just a full tank of fuel, mind you by the time the cars delivered, JULY, that could be worth a couple of hundred quid at the rate its going up
Oh and I always collect hand full of car sales brochures whilst Im in the showroom, they can be worth a few bob in years to come, have lots from the 60. 70, 80 and 90's you need to pick up the good ones though, the cars the enthusiasts buy rather than run of the mill cars, like Works MINIs, Coopers etc and I still have ones for Lotus Cortina, 3 litre Capri, AC Cobra, Avenger Tiger, Lotus Sunbeam amongst others.
Some can fetch up to 30 quid or more each these days.
