Long Beach Mini was the third dealership I had visited in search of my Mini. I visited South Bay Mini and Nick Alexander but didn't care for the experience there. I decided to take the drive to Long Beach Mini and give them a try. As soon as I walked onto the sales floor I wasn't bombarded by salespeople. I saw Mark sitting down and was greeted by a smile and hello. Being that I had visited two other Mini dealerships I already knew exactly what I wanted. Mark was pleasant, kind and very knowledgeable about the brand. Mark answered all my questions.I truly dislike the pressure of dealerships but honestly felt zero pressure at Long Beach Mini. Buying a car is a big experience for most people and it really helps to be assisted with someone that is patient and will answer all your questions. I bought the 2011 Mini Cooper S and I must admit I am a very satisfied customer. And Mark made my experience an easy and pleasant one.I live in the Torrance area and although I live closer to South Bay Mini, I drove the extra distance to Long Beach MIni. I also worked with Bruce Shipper in the finance department. He made the final process of my Mini purchase a good one. And I had my own financing.I've read many negative reviews about this dealership but I guess I got lucky. I only dealt with Mark and Bruce. I would recommend that if you are apprehensive about buying a car and prefer a salesman with patience who doesn't make you feel pressured and stressed. See Mark....
