Ive just noticed the discout thing for the 50 years of mini sport,, so ive got a shopping basked sorted of £315.15, quite a bit of money to spend, all prices are VAT included. So how come i come to the checkout and its now £378.18 as of tax?

It has both prices for me and if I add a single item to the basket it adds the cheaper of the 2 prices e.g. No vat. Also 378 happens to be 120% of 315

Well, that's Minisport all over.

 

And likely when you go to actually pay, it'll be more.

They've pissed me off even more recently. I've made a spreadsheet of parts vs cost and they've crept up slowly and make no difference whether they're in 'sale' or not as they raise the base price to compensate.

right... i always thought they where the people to talk to, but the more i get into minis again, it seems no one likes them

 

 

 

Years ago, i was insured with adrian flux, was ok, price was ok, but i get a letter in the post, dear sir, all you have to do is sit and relax and we will take teh money out of your bank for you, and if you dont want us to you have to do something about it. what if i missed the letter and thought it was a renewal.

 

Now the rally car is insured with dave auden and associates, maybe cost me more but the principle of that one letter pissed me off...

The no VAT until you check out drives me nuts. It's not just Mini parts, but other classic car shops do the same. If I go to FROST, MachineMart all prices have VAT, if I shop for clothes, even Halfords, it's all got bloody VAT on. Why not our classic car parts suppliers....

I think All spares sites that ship internationally show both prices with and without VAT as the tax is not applicable outside the EU?  I know the minispares shows both when I'm looking at the website.......
