If you are willing to drive a bit New Country Mini, in Hartford CT, has a new red launch jcw. It has about 200 test miles on it. Test drove it today. It was going for about 36k. Had some dealer installed extras but they actually sounded like they would negotiate a little on those.

Sales kid was nice. Bryan 860-240-7854.

 

Not afaik. I think "Launch Edition" just refers to the configuration of these cars that dealers are getting from MINI. I looked at the sticker on the window of the one at my dealer and it looked normal for pricing. Those JCW options really jack up the price.

 

That's too bad. Mini is really making out on the deal if buyers have JCW parts pre-installed on the car since they keep the OEM pieces.

Buying the JCW Aero kit pre-installed is ~$2900. Buying this seperately is ~$1900 plus you still have your front/rear/side OEM pieces which you could sell.
