As a leading MINI dealer in the Los Angeles area, if there’s one thing that we know all too well, it’s that we have competition. Whether you’re looking at another brand or simply another ride or style, we know that you have nearly limitless options.
So what makes us think you will come to us over the competition? It’s easy: we bring both to you.
Going once. Going twice. Sold!
The 1959 Austin MINI Se7en De Luxe Saloon that we told you about a little over a week ago has sold for more than double its expected bidding price at auction with Bonham’s. The eighth MINI to come out of production in the automaker’s 41-year history sold for $65,000 to an undisclosed buyer, after estimates had the vehicle selling for between $19,000 and $24,000. It is unknown whether the car has restoration in its future or a continued life of leisure.
At Nick Alexander MINI, we know that our customers are always looking for the latest and greatest from one of the greatest automakers in the industry today. However, we also know that they appreciate the fact that some things just get better with age. Take, for example, the oldest un-restored MINI vehicle in the world.
We may be biased, but when it comes to MINI Coopers, we know one thing. All it takes is just one look. That’s right, one look at a MINI Cooper, no matter the style, and you’re hooked. But we know that it’s both the eyes and the heart that go into loving a MINI.
If you drive a MINI Cooper, then you know that there’s no wrong time to be behind the wheel. Whether your 2012 model is your first MINI or you’ve been driving around Los Angeles in a used MINI Cooper for years, we know that for us and our customers, there’s nothing but MINI Cooper. Day or night, long drive or short jaunt, MINI is always the right choice for our drivers.
It appears that a few more people have caught onto the secret, and we at Nick Alexander MINI couldn’t be happier about it. This year has been promising from the get-go, with 32,421 MINI vehicles delivered in March alone, representing a 5.6-percent increase over that month last year.
Do you remember how exciting it was to transition into the double digits? As a child, moving from nine to 10 is one of the most thrilling birthdays many of us can remember.
MINI Cooper may have been around since before 2002, but that’s when we drivers in America welcomed the one-of-a-kind brand to our side of the big pond. That year, the first American MINI dealer opened in San Francisco with just one model on the lot: the Hardtop that we still love today.
As all of our customers at Nick Alexander MINI know, driving a MINI vehicle is unlike driving any other vehicle on the road, and the John Cooper Works Coupe is even more unique. With unmatched exterior style, a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and reliable safety features, the John Cooper Works Coupe really has it all.
You’ve heard of the term “smooth sailing,” and certainly if you’re driving a MINI you’re quite familiar with smooth driving, but sometimes little bumps in the road come up and your car needs a little extra attention. No worries, you’ve got the bet repair service in the industry on your hands.
That’s a fact.
Spring is approaching, and that means longer days with even more sunshine. What you do with those extra hours is up to you, and certainly the options are close to endless, but why not consider a joy ride? And, while you’re at it, why not consider a 2012 MINI Coupe or Roadster? We at Nick Alexander MINI have plenty of reasons why jumping behind the wheel of one of these MINIs may be the best use of your extra daylight.
Throughout the world, this February was a special occasion. Who among us didn’t take the opportunity to celebrate Leap Day, after all?
For us at Nick Alexander MINI, and for MINI dealers everywhere, though, February 2012 was special for another reason. The delivery of 127,634 BMW, Rolls-Royce and MINI brand vehicles worldwide gave BMW Group its best-ever February sales. Year-to-date, the auto group has delivered 239,800 vehicles, which comprises as 10.5-percent increase over this time last year.
