Just reg'd, thinking about trading in my '06 Honda Element (which has been a great car for my needs). On the Element forum, we had a long-running thread where people who were so inclined could post what they paid for their car (of course, this attracted the hard-bargainers rather than the people who bought without a lot of research). I'm looking at a new Clubman with the convenience package, & want to bargain from a position of knowledge. I'm in Sacramento, CA (haven't set up my profile yet, nor have I had a chance to scour the site yet). Thanks ahead of time to anyone who cares to respond...

 

Unfortunately most MINI dealers are straight MSRP... The deals can come with 0% financing and acessories trown in ect and dealing on the trade in.
When I went shopping for my wifes new clubman they were closing out the 09's with a $750 discount and 6.9% financing . At the same time they had the 10's with 0% financing up to 60 months. We opted for the 10 got carpetted matts , rubber matts, hood stripes, and an armrest thrown in
