No mistake. I bought mine from Morristown for 314k. That's quite the deal for only 311k. I Wish I had seen it!

Looks like the price has been corrected. Is this car really available?

Seems there's a number of GPs available around the country.
My local dealership had a cancellation earlier this week; a dealership in Miami posted on GPMINI.net that they had six available (I have to think they're marking them up if they've got that many!)

Nope, that's actually true...I remember the manager telling me that he had numerous orders for one, and he was trying to get one that wasn't reserved to sell on the showroom floor...I live right near the dealership, so I'm there pretty frequently when I come home from school.

If anyone does want to buy this car, my family has bought two MINIs from the dealership, and we have had nothing but good things to say about the experience.

Good Luck with it

Its not really available. They are just listing it because its still something they are set to have delivered.

I called about 25 mini dealerships today in search. One (Tacoma WA) said they sold their last slot last week! /cry

The Milwaukee one has one, but wants $35000 for it.

I think its not meant to be. Maybe a JCW for me.

Did you call that Miami dealership that claimed 2 days ago to have SIX available?
