Do you think Mini knew how well the Justa was going to sell or did they know that a lot buyers would go with Justa and then these buyers would take the savings and buy more option which has a higher profit for Mini. I don't think the dealers realize this and that why there are still a lot of S on their lots I was one who was going to buy the S but after reading a lot posts, reviews and test driving, I went with the Justa. Unfortunately I am still counting the days for me to drive my car.
Dangerously low supply of F56 Coopers! Here in my area, some dealers only have the F56 Cooper S available. No Coopers until the 2015s are released ... ouch!

I guess the weather is not the only good thing about living in So Cal. We have plenty of minis in our area (and plenty of competition) . Where are you guys located?

Funny numbers... I was in Vancouver, BC the other day and they only had a couple that I saw... I was in Sacramento a month ago and they had rows and rows of them, close to a hundred maybe?

Well, my dealer's lot looks like a lonely place. I just checked their website and their sole remaining F56 is gone. Their new car inventory tab shows 4 convertibles and 10 Countryman. Slim pickin's for sure.

I was at Flow Raleigh today, they had a couple of F56 new justa's and a few Cooper S's. Only a couple were manual though :(

Interesting. I wonder if they got them from another dealer because Winston-Salem had a bunch and it certainly wouldn't make sense for Flow MINI to have one dealer with a selection of choices and another with none at all. I've been watching both websites and while Flow Raleigh has had all their F56s disappear from the website, Winston-Salem has had a bunch that seem like they've been there awhile.

Update..... I see what you mean. Took a run down there today and Flow Raleigh has 6 F56 on their lot plus a couple 2014 Clubman. At least a couple of the F56 were there 2 weeks ago. I wonder what the marketing strategy is to one-by-one remove them from your website so that when you search on new cars, it comes up only with convertibles and Countryman.

My dealer is down to 2 F56S no F56
3 weeks is a long time to go. I feel sorry for the MAs, how can they make money with no cars to show

MINI of Portland has 20 on their website right now, 8 base and 12 S. Seems like a lot especially with the 2015s about to pop.

MINI of Ontario (CA) only shows 2014 Hardtops on their website for some reason. The only 2015's listed are convertibles. When I was there about a week and a half ago it seemed like F56's were stacked up all over the place. It led me to wonder how well they're selling. I have an R56 on a lease which ends in early December so I'm looking at the F56 Hardtop. Interestingly, I have yet to see a 2015 Hardtop on the road and that's very unusual for a new car model in Southern CA.

The new model year starts with 2014 Hardtop. 2015s have just been released from EPA jail and have not hit dealer lots yet. I have seen new model 2014 Hardtops in LA. Not a lot, but they are out there.

I happened to stop by the MINI dealer near LAX in the South Bay today and I saw at least three trucks of 2015 Coopers being unloaded. No S models.

My dealer said they were down to three cars before they were flooded. It's been non-stop hectic since then.
