Sorry to burst your bubble, but this article has kinda proven that any haggling, even for $100 would be quite remarkable...

Makes me appreciate my 3% ultra rare 1-off now

I wouldn't say that proves anything. That is one article with one opinion, where I have read for weeks on this forum alone that people have been receiving good discounts on their new minis, me included. I think that proves more than the article you linked

I got £400 off mine.

I got £2k off mine, haggling is possible...

There is no hard rule. Each dealer and each customer will treat haggling in a different way and with a different outcome. Add to that regional differences/customs and you'll find that there is room for manouver.

Haggling is a game in itself - God bless the Hagglers maybe we should have our own Haggling army

No matter what though

Having the actual car would be helpful

They may run out of VO by the time your car comes down the line.. Would you care for a Pink one?

Or moonwalk grey

Or white silver

I'll end up like Cameron I think

Next time I'm going to have to get one of you guys to haggle on my behalf! I got a small discount but clearly could have pushed for more!!

Haggling is fun!

I haggled; got free service pack and the the price I wanted for my px plus £400 loyalty bonus mini offer any current min owner-reckon everyone should manage that one!
Problem is I haven't it in hard writing and my sales lady has left; sales manager said there would be no problem at all , making me think I should've haggled harder- I should've gone to another mini dealer for a second price to barter with BUT she was just so good!
Ah well , happy with my choice-can't wait!

That's a great point - all previous Mini owners should def get a loyalty bonus - but make sure you only mention it when the haggling has finished !! Did this once on an MX5 - got a real cracking deal then upset the sales guy mega style when I introduced a £1000 off promotion . Poor bloke needed oxygen - lol

What good is discount, if you don't have the Mini. lol.

If your trading-in, your own car is deprecating. Granted maybe not 2 grand, but it depends on how long you're waiting.
