Best Philly Area Dealers?

[yeti]

We are putting our order in for a Cooper very soon. My wife has all of the specs basically figured out. We test drove at one dealer and were going to head over there to put in the order within the next few weeks.

When looking at the miniusa.com site, I see 10 dealers within 100 miles of us (the north side of Philly). Could any folks out there give us some advice on why you chose the dealer you went to? I know that some dealers are charging more (over sticker?), and some have longer waits (over their allotment?), and some have better service.

Which dealer in the Philly/NJ area did you go with, and why?

The guys at Mainline MINI are really nice. I stop in there all the time, and talk about MINI stuff. They couldn't get my MINI soon enough; so I got it from MINI of Pittsburgh. MINI of Pittsburgh is a bigger dealership, and they can probably deliver it to you faster and cheaper. Happy Motoring!

I put my two cents in for Otto's in West Chester!!

VERY friendly people, new dealership (i.e. short waitlists) and very eager to make a name for themselves in the area.

Ask for either Joe, or the Sales Manager, Hugo!!

I took delivery of my MCS on 2 July, after ordering in mid-May.

I made a phone call to MINI of Main Line today and was met with a curt manner by the female sales manager. Guess they can afford to do that now????...I bought my MCS at Princeton- LOVE those guys.

I realized I didn't answer the question. I live between both dealers, actually a bit closer to Rosen/Mini of Main Line. I am on the NJ side and used to live near the Princeton dealer. I was treated first class over the phone by everyone I spoke with which prompted me to visit. It was even better in person. I decided to go to Princeton since I was familiar with them and was glad I did. I had the best overall experience. I even went back for a minor check on something after I got my MCS and the service dept. was very accomodating.

We are planning on a BRG Cooper with white top, but we haven't seen the color in person yet. I pass Princeton Mini on my way to work every day...

I went w/Morristown over Princeton baised on the fact the Rt 287 is a pretty clear ride (short of rush hour) but Rt.1 sucks, it sucks at 9 am it sucks at 9pm, it sucks at 3am. All them d*mn lights Ahhhhhh makes me go wonky just thinking about it. Blehh.
