MINI off?

I have looked on your website and read John's and Mr Money’s advice. However I can't seem to find "deals" on new MINIs. Am I missing something? Or are these cars still exempt from discounts due to either BMW policy or to being too popular. Also, are you aware of any specific issues that I should be aware of in buying a new MINI diesel?

See car-by-car breakdown at www.honestjohn.co.uk MINI 1.6 diesels are still hot sellers because they will be just £20 tax next year. You might get money off a Cooper S John Cooper Works if you try hard enough. MINI depreciation is now much heavier than it used to be with 2-year-old Mk II Coopers selling for between £7k and £8k.
