All those who have used UK mini cherished...

[Facer]

Hi there,

Hope all are you are enjoying your minis

I am interested in finding out exactly how much money mini cherished dealers are willing to take off forecourt prices. Have you bought a cherished mini? If so which dealer was it, when did you buy it, what mini was it, how much was the forecourt price and how much did you get it reduced? Did you get any other goodies thrown in? Having performed a search on this, I found one person claiming he got £500 off and a full tank of fuel. Prices are quite competitive at the moment, comparing them to private. Any information would be most helpful, even if you know of a friend of a friend who got money off, please do tell..... I am thinking of buying a cooper or one in the near future and want to know how much I can realistically haggle mini cherished prices down to.

Thank you in advance for all response

Recently brought a 04 MC from Rydale Sutton, they were asking £13500. They knocked £500 off without much haggling and they also supplied and fitted the Aero Kit and Viper stripes for £1500 all in.

The car actually came from Rydale Cental, but I brought it through Sutton because I had been to see another MINI and were really impressed with the customer service.

They said they have room to discount against Cherished, but not on new.

original listed for 11 got them down to about 10.250 and they fitted viper stripes for about £70

Cool Kaj, I am presuming it was a cooper. What year model and which dealer did you go to?

I was part ex - so I made them come up on their offer for my old car - by about £250 - I got £250 off the forcourt price and a full tank of super unleaded and a mini care backpac with a load of cleaning stuff.

Came out of it ok - on my 54-plate MY05 DS/B MCS

My first ONE was a Cherished car. Was originally £9750, but i paid £9250, bargain!
(specially as id been looking at that particular one on the net for sometime and thought, thats exactly the car for me but a bit too expensive)

Although i think it was more a case of 'not what you know, but who you know'

EDIT : that was in March 2005
