    Well you could try Menzies in Stirling,we have a resident sales monkey from there on the site, minime!

    I'm sure he'll be along soon. He can smell a sales at 200 yards

    Welcome to NMS BTW, what MINI are you looking at?

    helpful, patient? doesn't sound like minime

    he's a good guy really, gives out a lot of advice and that's why most people on here would recommend Menzies. I bought my car from john clarks Aberdeen, but I will be visiting Iain when it comes to change......

    Welcome to the site, if you're looking for a no hassle visit to a dealer, then as already mentioned, go to see Iain at Menzies in Stirling
    Once you've made up your mind he will do everything possible to get you the car you want :)
    Good luck

    I too would recommend Iain at Menzies (minime). I bought my first MINI from a dealer in Glasgow - sales chappies were good, but no deals done. Service side was, in my opinion, not up to scratch at all.

    However, Iain is great, will do his level best to get you a good deal. I bought my second MINI from him! I can't comment on the service side of Menzies yet, but if they are anything like the sales side, I'll have no complaints.

    Happy shopping!

    Evelyn, the dealer alredy reccomended is probably your nearest. The only other ones I could recomend is Grassicks in perth who are excellent. You could also try morrisons (Kirkclady) who are very helpful, although if you want to trade in steer clear of them.
    Welcome to the site, Keep us posted on how you get on and if Iain can sort you out with what you are after.
