Hey - first post. Have been browsing and some of you guys have some really nice cars!
I've into my local dealership as I am possibly looking to upgrade to a new shape (currently in a 59 plate Cooper D).
So (stay with me), I've been told they have a car that they've used as a display model (hasn't been driven/registered yet) so essentially new. Apparently the dealership has 60 days to sell the car before they have to pay Mini for it. That time has passed so the dealership now has cash tied up in this car and they need to sell it, originally he said at a loss if it means it's sold (but later went on to say how Mini never sells cars at a loss). Not exactly sure what's going on/what to make of what I'm being told as I asked him why it hadn't been sold, and he said as it was in storage.
A few questions: I've been given a print out sheet of the spec of the car. The total comes to £18,635. It then goes onto list things like:
Supply & Fit Number Plates (£30)
Fuel (£35)
Elms Protect Pack (£399)
Delivery (£440)
TLC Maintenance Pack (£299)
First Registration Fee (£55)
Which brings the grand total to £19,893. Are these things you would normally be expected to pay for? The advertised price of the car doesn't state these added charges.
Apologies if this is an insanely stupid question! I feel to a certain extent I am getting the sales spiel. I hate B/S, I'd rather someone just be straight with me.
Attached is a picture of the car.
