It was a pleasure to work with Tim Ralston to order our 4-door from the factory in England. Getting updates as the car progressed through production to loading on the ship, to sailing across the Atlantic, 4-door from the factory in England. Getting updates as the car progressed through production to loading on the ship, to sailing across the Atlantic, whetted our appetite for finally receiving it and driving it home. Tim was helpful in revealing ways to save money by trading in our old Mini rather than selling it elsewhere, and by financing the purchase instead of buying it outright. Weeks after getting the car we are still discovering the amazing driving assistance functions it has in its repertoire. The funnest for me is its ability to back itself out of the garage into the street, making two 90-degree turns in the process! As someone who has had a couple of costly encounters with garage doors in the past, this is a big plus. The invoice we were given when we ordered the car I found to be frustratingly opaque and I wish we could have had a lot more detail, but everything worked out okay in the end. My wife and I recommend Ferman to anyone wanting to purchase a Mini, or exploring the brand. More

Wow! What a fantastic dealership. I have never had a better car buying experience. I didn't plan on buying a car on a random Sunday, but they made the pro What a fantastic dealership. I have never had a better car buying experience. I didn't plan on buying a car on a random Sunday, but they made the process so easy and quick. Not to mention I live over an hour away, and they even delivered it to my driveway! From start to delivery was less than 5 hours. That's record time! Timothy was so great, and took all the time I needed to answer questions. Top notch service and experience from Ferman Mini! Customer for life now! More

I'm glad we decided to purchase our first MINI from Ferman, even though it was a bit farther away than another dealership. From start to finish it was a great experience.
