Available GP's?

hey guys,

If this is inappropriate, feel free to delete. But I'm searching all over for any GP that is unclaimed (And not marked up to high heaven ). If you hear of one, would you please PM me? Thanks!

Nick
Hopeful GP owner.

. . . just how far up do you consider "high heaven" to be marked?

1% - 5% - 10% - 15% > ?

When it comes to GP's, right now you've got to pay to play.

Yes, there's this one: GP 0223. As the seller notes, he's selling it for the sticker price he paid.

This isn't mine, just another member of my club -- I followed it around a couple weeks ago on a drive, and it still looks to be in great shape.

I remember reading the Morristown Mini has two for $31,150 that was yesterday though

Just Checked and it looks like they still have two left (at least that's what the website says http://morristownmini.com/New-Invent...oryId=15324079)for the price above

Sponsor MINI Of The Hamptons lists a GP at $31,150 (and free shipping) but I have no idea if they have any stock.

Another vendor is offering $2,500 mark-up

Update.

I called about 25 dealers around the US. It was funny the range of comments. One mockingly said they were sold out "across the USA since February" while one said they sold their last slot last week. Boo.

Good news is, I got a call today from one dealership that would sell me one if it came open (sounded about 50/50). We'll see. Thanks everyone.

As far as I know Motorwerks doesn't have the inflated price. $31,000 or so is list.

All 3 DC-Metro dealers have more then 1 GP for sale.
Tatemini.com
towsonmini.com
sterlingmini.com

I know for a fact Sterling and Towson are charging a "premium" of $5k on the cars.

Watch out...Morristown just backed out of sale!

I was first in line at Morristown with deposit and paperwork. ALL was a go with sales people and managers; even transportation, when the GM stepped in and KILLED the sale! Beware!!!! No longer a GP Owner!
