I dealt with New Country Mini in Hartford, CT Since car is being built and will likely be delivered in September, one can't lock in the current low financing rates since they are only valid through 8/31. Experience tells me rates will still be there next month too, but at this point it is a little bit of "who knows." Hopefully I will get that 1.9%

I finally got all my financial ducks in a row and went to the nearest Mini dealership in Hartford,CT only to be told that the approximate wait time on any customized Mini was close to 13 weeks. So I called the other dealership in CT and was given a 5 week time but over the phone. I'm not sure who to believe because the wait time is nothing they can control. The other thing the salesperson in Hartford mentioned was the $400 dealership charge they tack onto the MSRP for processing the paperwork and other formalities. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Wow..you are fast. Thank you! :) For my example, my configuration by building my car is 24,000 of MSRP in the miniuas.com, the dealer says I could get 500 discount...so suppose the deal is $23,500 now, how much extra cost do I need to consider before geting to OTD price (as far as I know, 6% tax, and property tax for CT...), could you estimate how much is reasonable for the rest of the fee generally? Because I try to reply my dealer by offering the OTD price, but I have little knowledge of all kind of transaction fee. I just don't want to win the discount part and actually lose the fee part...thank you! :D

I live in Ct. but bought across the border in RI. I ordered my MCS Saturday but before signing I told them to wright everything down...my out the door price. I was not going to pay for anything other than document fees. No vin etching, paint sealant, undercoating, dealer prep, etc. They were good and my paperwork fees were $95. He did balk at giving me front and boot mats but I was ready to walk, even over such a little thing.
