Discounts on a new Cooper S

[matt21]

Thinking of taking the plunge on a new Cooper S. Looking for high spec, with nav, leather etc..

What kind of discount am I likely to get absolute max from a dealer. Dealer suggests £500-£1000. Also I am looking for the lowest ownership costs over 3yrs and 60,000 miles. Anything beat a cash purchase?

Thanks in advance

Matt

You need to find out what Mini Uk are giving as they regularly have support on the car which will be £500 or £1000 for example. The dealer isn't giving away anything then.

BMW currently giving £600.

As someone with Sat Nav I would advise against it on a new purchase. It is an expensive option and the same effect can be gained from an aftermarket system that can be upgraded without you shelling out £120 a year to BMW.

I know the dealership close to me is offering up to £1k off new sales right now - some sort of dealer anniversary deal or something.

Welcome to the club where we MOC you not mock you for daring to like MINIs.

At that mileage you are better to buy one a year old. If you do 10k a year you could lease one with a Chili pack for around £265 plus VAT

Does that include JCW's?

What about Broadspeed and all the other discounters, any better deals out there?
