We went to three different mini dealers, our first visit was to the Charleston, SC (Hendrick's). The dealership was nice, when I went inside I felt kind of cramped because they had 3 mini's in there and there wasn't really enough room for all of them. The outside setup was very nice. We walked around and looked at every single one. We finally picked one to test drive, both of us drove it. The people were okay but it just didn't feel good. They seemed to hover over us.

A couple of weeks later we went to Flow Mini in winston-salem, NC. We had communicated with them many times via email. When we arrived we were greeted and they found our salesman that we talked to via email. After a few hours I picked mine out and told them I would be back in 3 hours to pick it up while they did the paperwork. Came back and everything was ready, no pressure sales or additions.

The next week we went to Greenville,SC (still trying to find one for my wife). The salesman there seemed a bit cocky to us, but they were all very nice. They showed us everything we asked but they just didn't have the car my wife wanted (they never offered to order one, unlike Flow-mini).

My wife came back and eventually ordered from Flow, it's supposedly sitting at the dock waiting on boat. They have sent multiple little things to her (cookies, notes etc) and I have not ever had a 2nd thought about did we do the right thing. I know we did!

When it's time for my next mini, I know where it will be from!

I highly recommend them ... even though they are a 3 hour drive from us...

So Deb is your wife?

Flow MINI also sponsors MINI drives at times. I've heard many good things about them.
