New York Area Dealers

Can anyone advise who has had positive purchase experiences in the NY area? I am considering going to
MINI of Manhattan
Fairfield (CT) MINI
Westchester MINI
or
Prestige MINI

Any feedback in treatment or pricing would be appreciated.

Thanks

MINI of Manhattan has a couple of MA's that are active locally, supporting NEMINI.org.
This is also true of an MA or two at Morristown MINI

Westchester

I just did a test drive with Paulo from Westchester MINI. I was impressed and I expect to purchase mine from him in few months.

If you don't mind heading onto Long Island, Habberstad BMW Mini treated me real nice 2 weeks ago. I got $500 off MSRP and free rubber mini mats. The deal was easy, and they have a nice selection. Ask for Maureen.

You know she doesn't leave with you when you pick up the car right?

I got my MINI from Habberstad too. My MA was Cori, she was very helpful, forgot how much I got off MSRP I think it was around $500 too. No floor mats though

Maureen Hirsch of Habberstad was very nice. Dealing with her was easy and I got some $$$ off MSRP plus rubber mats. Of course it was an in stock 2007 model, though it had everything I wanted. Basically loaded. She did mention the tire and wheel warranty to me and I thought it made sense since the lower profile tires and expensive wheels would cost an arm and a leg to replace. I have not got around to doing it yet. Just got SuperMINI 2 weeks ago and falling in serious love. With the MINI that is :impatient

Chris does seems a little hard sell when it comes to the dealer added stuff but I guess that's how they make the extra profit these days. In 05 they didn't have a finance guy and you just signed all the paper work with Ed and your MA. I kinda liked that better.

James at Mini of Manhattan is your man

I bougt my car here after being somewhat jerked around at other locations you mentioned in your post. He was very helpful, straighforward. They also were VERY understanding when I changed my order after it was complete and on the boat.

Good luck

Dennis is the best salesman I have ever met. He jumped through hoops to get me my Mini. I wish him well at Habberstad
