Buying a new mini

There was a time where if you couldn't get around 20% off the retail for a new BMW/Mini you weren't trying hard enough, not sure if that's still the case in the current climate.

Given they're cancelling orders that they can't fulfil and having to simplify the current range of specifications I'd expect the only discount to be on a short notice/cancelled order with a dodgy colour/spec. Dealers are currently falling over themselves to get any car/build slot they can

Hi there.

Has anyone else tried to purchase a new mini recently?

All the dealers seem to be quoting the exact same prices on the mini website and are not negotiating.

Is this price fixing?

If you just looking at price's on the website then these will generally be the RRP, I'm assuming you're referring to an actually "new" car rather than a new to you, used vehicle. You need to actually go in and talk to a dealer and see what they can offer. Also, again I assume this is a cash purchase, don't rule out their PCP deals either because quite often they'll offer dealer/manufacturer contributions and then as soon as you've got the car cancel/settle the finance off without penalty.

definitely not the case in the current climate.  No discounts and i think a recent price increase too
