Hi,

I have been searching for a pre-owned clubman for about 6 months...timing the purchase to the termination of the lease of the POS Dodge.

Ran across Patrick Mini in Schamburg IL. They are a turn-in center for exec cars. Picked up an 09 Clubman S in PERFECT condition and drove it home to Michigan on Monday.

Wanted to plug the dealer and specifically Maria Makris the sales person - she's great.

Thanks for sharing your experience

How is the clubman handling?

 

Hi, The clubman is great. Just have about 700 miles on now. Rides nice, handles on rails, great fuel economy and very fun to drive! Jeff

 

I to will be going to Patrick Mini in the next week. I have heard some positive news regarding them.

Do you feel that buying a Demo that you saved a worthwhile amount vs. a new 2010?

 

Hi,

I firmly believe based on data that I got a far better deal and car going the demo route. I would have never got all the options that I have on my clubman if I bought new and frankly the price I paid is what I found pre-owned in the private sector with less equipment. I hit them when they had a big inventory which means a) I had 12 cars to choose from and b) they wanted them gone.

Make sure you see Maria and tell her Jeff from Michigan sent you.
