So far very positive for Global.

I phoned around about every dealer in the US a few weeks back and Global had pre-spec vehicles available for May build. As most other places had a 1-2 year wait I was a happy chap to say the least.

I chose one and made sure I got a purchase agreement and their terms sent to me. Their deposit is $1000 non-refundable - but the stipulation is that the price you pay is the price on the purchase agreemnet at the time the vehicle order is placed. No nasty surprise before deal completion.

I went over this legal 'jargon' many times with 2 different sales people and the sales manager - and I believe what I was told, and the documents I read. Also, by Global taking the $1000 from me I believe that is us making a binding contract together - am I correct ?

Global were also nice enough to call me when the sports pack was deleted by BMW, and give me the option of remaining with the vehicle or getting another - other people had also dropped out at this point and I could have chosen a different color.

A really positive thing was that unlike some dealers - (e.g. Chicago and Vegas) who add crap on the cars totalling $2500+, Global was not so bad.

Global add on an undefined 'Documentary Fee' of $297.50 (it really takes that much to file afew bits of paper ;-)).

They also add on a 'Consumer Guard' for $248.65 which is VIN etched into windows combined with a small insurance policy for $1200 should your car get stolen.

This narled me as it costs about $10 to do this elsewhere.I called the sales manager and asked him to delete it in turn for me ordering some mini accessories that I wanted - he agreed, so that made me happy.

The two sales ladies are nice people to deal with and seem 'human' compared to some of the slimey dealer I am used to.

I'll update when I collect my mini some time in June (its on the boat now).

Hi,
when did you order your car? Is it a S or Cooper?
what's your last 7 digits VIN?
when are you gonna have it?
where do you live?

how does this work? is it on top of your insurance?
