LOL... yes, that was me, but you would know me if I worked at the same place as you. I was just cutting through your lot. I'm in a class at VTec this week and I was going to Home Depot on my lunch break. I work in that really big, tall building around the corner.
The repair shop I was talking about is different from the used car dealer.

Big tall building...ns?
I have two dogs, a Boston Terrier and a Golden Retriever. No Boxer.

Actually, you're right. It shouldn't be that difficult. Most days he doesn't leave the house. But he sometimes has to travel.
I haven't approached the "share a car for 8 weeks" aspect with him yet!

Well since we don't have Zipcar available here, the next best way to get away with having only one (or no) car is to use Hotwire to occasionally rent a car from the airport. I did that three times in the beginning of the year, and it was very cheap (when compared to owning a vehicle) and fairly convenient as well.

That's an idea. My company also has an employee discount available with one of the big car rental companies; Hertz, I think.
My next goal is to get to Peabody (probably not until later this month) and actually look at and drive one and compare it to the regular MC, although I think I'm sold on the Clubman already. I might list my car on craigslist in the meantime, just to see what happens.

Heh, you're bucking for a referral, aren't you?
Actually, do they have a referral program? I'd be happy to say you referred me if you get anything out of it.
I spoke with a salesguy on the phone a couple weeks ago but it was by random call. It wasn't the same guy you went through.

No, I don't think they do (have a referral program). But you can tell Hrach I said hi anyway. The cars pretty much sell themselves, so it's not like going to a local Chevy dealer where they're desperate to get rid of them. They're no negotiation, and there's no wiggle room. That's why I say sell your Subaru yourself.

I think I'll list it on cl anyway, just to see what I get for response.

As for selling a Subaru, it should be easy up there. I had a guy come from VT all the way to NC for mine a few years ago.

If T&CMCSa hasn't seen you ask to be added to the list, you might want to send him a PM.

Hey got my Littlebean today! Thanks again for everyone's help with the headliner issue. My better half & i agreed the the lighter color looked good if not maybe better to our tastes and was no big deal. The Sales Manager said that Mini would be sending me a check for all the problems i had. The Mini is awesome! Taking some time to get used to as my honda was out of alignment and old, and my 914 well lets just say is is a 35 year old car and drives that way with no comfort. If any one is an expert on the Iphone voice dial set up & use thing feel free to email me --ekatz2@verizon.net. Also the cable for charging ipod. my phone showed charging but did not.

Are they going to fix the other problems with the car or did you accept it as is?
There is a thread about the Iphone if you have the newer version.

Mr Ray,
I accepted the car as is. My wife said the colors were actually very nice together. The Sales Manager also said he asked Mini to send me a check for the aggravation on the whole issue. Plus they took the anthracite charge off of course. As for the phone, I was able to pair it, and learning the controls I find the alphabet / address list but still have not gotten the voice command to dial someone to work. The address list on my phone goes by first names and the Mini list came up last name first. So just two little issues.
