Anyone have any intel on how much money should be knocked of the 40K price by the dealer? Does 2K sound fair?

 

Why should any money be knocked off? They are new and still have some demand.

 

Why? Because I could! They are currently knocking off 1250... I'm trying for more.

 

Well good luck.

 

deal done... 1500 off sticker... in a few hours I will be a GP owner

 

Great price. Congrats.

 

My dealer has a Goodwood for sale and is being offered at about 35k. Sticker is like 52k! Been sitting for over a year so they are trying really hard, lol

 

Lets see pics of you and your new GP.

 

I guess I should have pushed harder to get the GP at 25!

 

Noon tomorrow! Pics will follow!

 

Do a search of dealerships in socal and you will find many GPs for sale. The demand isn't as great as many expected. The demand is not even close to the demand the original GP had. I believe many are not willing to pay 40K + tax and license.

When I first inquired about the GP in Jan. 2013, MINI said each dealership would be getting only 1 so placing an order was highly recommended. Today, a dealership here in LA has 8.

 

Having all 500 GP's dumped on dealers at one time cant be helping.

 

That's for certain. But I think MINI expected more preorders.

I've heard that back in '06 all the GPs were sold out in the UK before before being released.

Does anyone remember how fast the 2006 GP sold out in the US? I know for sure that after a month from being released, there weren't as many as there are 2013 GPs now.

 

I guess I'll have to cancel the deal and get a focus... thanks for the advice!

 

About $750 off sticker and deduction of silly dealer add-ons

 

What advice?

I guess Braminator was right. Good call

 

Im not understanding his response to your statement either. You are a 100% correct in that the GP's are not flying off the lots. I didnt think you were being negative just stating the fact that there are a lot of GP's still available.

 

I'm really having a hard time understanding how the sales rate of GP minis is answering my question... I got 1500 knocked off price... just asking if that sounds reasonable... not really asking if I should buy a toyota instead!

 

Yes $1500 off is a good price. I think the sales rate was brought up to show why you were able to get $1500 off a limited production Mini.

 

So are you an owner or not? Let see some pics.

 

Simple economics. If dealerships are not moving the GPs, eventually they will start discounting them. Supply and Demand. I think MINI did not foresee supply>demand. $1500 off is a very good deal.

 

i cant see why any dealer would discount a GP.
maybe you can save dealer fee etc... but the car is hot!

 

^+1. Cant wait to see him and his GP in the same picture.

 

Just wanted to tip in here. In 2006, it took a while to sell all of the 400+ US GPs, well into late summer, and we can expect similar here with the GP2. It is normal, and you can be certain that every one will find a home.

Discounts will vary by market as well as your relationship with the dealership. Some dealerships are still asking above MSRP (look at AutoTrader) while others are looking to move their inventory and will be more aggressive on price. I have no reason to doubt $1500 off MSRP.

Great car for sure, congrats to anyone who has (or will soon have) a GP2.

 

Congrats on making a good deal!
