I bought my first two Mini's from Mill, I bought my third from Priory. Nuff Said.

Got to Priory's they're much better.

Ask for Alex or John.

He must be sick of the sight of me. I've actually got to pop in on Thursday to sort out a blemish on my roof.

I bought my frist mini from Fawdingtons - simply because my sister got her bmw from there. When I went to order my MCC about a month ago, I went to Mill since its two minutes down the road. I was in there twice in one day...in the morning on my own, then later that afternoon with my sister. In the morning it was dead, and the guy, I forget his name, did stand and talk to me, but he really didn't know what he was talking about (CVT available only on the MCC not the MOC - something clearly shown in the convertible booklet). I went back later that day with my sister to get her opinion on the car. After the most appauling treatment by that same sales man I left, drove straight to Fawdington and spent 20k. I just wish I could go in with my new MCC and make sure he knows what commission he lost out on. TOTAL w*nker.

Can't recommend Fawdington enough. Very helpful people, very patient and pleasant.
