Buy a MINI, get a Garmin?

[Nextourer]

Hmm... shows you how well the aftermarket GPS units are doing. The MINI has an optional factory navigation system that's built into the vehicle BUT I saw this in my inbox today:

I remember a sale at Future Shop where you can buy a TV and you get a LG GPS unit?? I don't get it.

I've not seen that offer from my local MINI Dealer. I was just in to have a "check-up" the other day...

LG makes GPS now? lol

Probably because it's a local thing and not nationwide. Even then, I think you're in the "wrong" country

I'm sure. I saw a news article that the Canadians are invading the shopping malls here in Buffalo because the American Dollar is doing so poorly EVEN Against the LOONIE!!!! That's a complete reversal of my old habits of making a run up to TO. for shopping trips.

Makes sense. We're helping your economy! (and slowly ruining ours ).

If you think about it, it's like getting a discount but the shops don't lose cause they're not giving the discount.

MINI's are cool!

I especially like the new "stretch" model.

I've not seen one (in person) yet. I wonder if you get an insurance discount because it's a 4-door?
