That's My Mini, Philadelphia.

If you are looking for a Mini  in the Philadelphia area, this is the place for you. That's My New Car offers a unique opportunity to buy a Mini at the dealer's only auto auctions.

The dealer's only auctions are the primary way that car dealers obtain and rotate inventory. 

Through the auctions, you can bid on the cars, just as if you were a dealer. By doing so, you take advantage of buying a vehicle at a wholesale price. Typically the wholesale price is thousands below the lot retail price.  For instance, below is the average price for a 2006 Mini on the lot at various local Philadelphia Mini dealerships (taken directly from their website) and the average price for that very same car at auction.

2006 Mini Cooper S

Retail price: $25,900

Auction price: $21,500

That is a difference of $4,400

You could buy a 2006 Mini Cooper S at a Philadelphia Mini dealership and pay their HUGE mark-up, or you could buy a 2006 Mini Cooper S at the exclusive dealer's only auction (the very same auction that this Philadelphia Mini dealership will send their cars to) and pay $4,400 less.  Basically, you can get a 2006 model year car at a 2003 model year price.

At the auction, there are about 15,000 cars that go through a week.  You can find practically any year or model Mini ever made. Of course as the cars get older, the savings are a little less. But, you still buy at wholesale prices! Even with a five year old car, you can save a few thousand on the purchase price.

Ok, what is the catch?  Why doesn't every dealer do this? The answer is simple. Car dealers make so much money on the mark-up of used cars, there is no incentive to give the public a break on the price. Most dealers have hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars sitting on their lot. They have to make some return on their money. They would never buy a car just to break even. Otherwise, they would not be in business.

Why would any car dealer offer access to dealer-only auctions? They do because they realize that you have specific wants and needs in the car you are searching for. Just because they have a Mini Cooper on the lot, doesn't mean that you want that specific Mini Cooper. This gives you the opportunity to get very specific about what you want and find the exact car you are looking for, instead of settling for another car, just because it happens to be on the lot. Another reason dealers should take this opportunity to cater to the exact wants that you have, is they don't have the huge capital outlay on a car hoping that you come by to buy it, and won't have to have as many cars on the lot that may or may not sell.

Let us know which Mini you are looking for, and we'll send an approximate price for that car at auction. Because there are so many cars to choose from, you can get very specific about the options (color, interior, mileage limit...). Get the car that you want, with the options that you want, at a price that you want. Just follow the link to the Find My New Car form, and we'll get back to you with the price that particular car should go for at auction.

Because we are a Pennsylvania dealership with State Inspection capabilities, we can inspect your car with a new PA Inspection and Emissions. We also offer up to a four year warranty, that we pass along, at cost, for anyone that desires to get one.

You can have your car shipped directly to you, anywhere in the US, for just the cost of transporting it.

To sum up the program:

	Find the car you want
	Request a price quote of auction prices and a CarFax
	We bid up to your highest bid amount

After we win the bid for you, we can do the following for you:

	State Inspection
	Warranty at cost
	Ship your car to you anywhere in the US

The next time you walk on to a Philadelphia Mini dealership lot, just know that their mark-up on those cars is absolutely HUGE! Write down the model, options and price, then request a quote from us to see how much you can save by buying it like you were a Philadelphia Mini dealer.
