Any Montrealers or Eastern Canada MINI owners that could give me a ballpark estimate of what i could expect to pay for a new base Mini? about the only option i would need would be air conditioning..
Thanks

 

Is Canbec the only dealer in the Montreal area ?
And are there any MINI clubs in the Montreal area?.

 

Can't you go to the Canadian version of the configurator and "build" your car exactly as you want it, that will give you an MSRP....

 

I recently was looking for a base MC in the Philadelphia area. My dealer looked at the inventories of dealerships all around the north east. The cheapest he could find me was about $3,000 over base.
It was always small additions, like $500 for the color, or certain packages. Up here it was imposible to find anything without the cold weather package. I'm assuming in Canada you'll run into the same problem.

I ended up buying mine from Florida and shipping it (my family lives there so they handled everything and I just signed papers up here). Even with the $450 for shipping I saved a lot.

If you have the time to wait for a custom one, just make it online.

 

You would have to order one in order to get no options.

 

The absolute base model of a MINI would be the MINI Cooper with Classic package.

That would be the mininum Canadian spec configuration. No Xenon headlights, no heated seats, no sunroof etc. I believe it totals to around $24K CDN.

With the strength of the CDN$ against the Euro, it might be lower for 2011. But last time I believe they kept the price the same but added more "standard" equipment.

 

After taxes etc. the lowest out the door price i could find at Montreals only MINI dealer CAnbec was close to $30K, even with my trade in and $15K in hand i'd have to make payments on $8k, as i dont do payments its back to lookint at used..
