My new MINI! Paid $1200 under MSRP too =)

i just picked up my '09 JCW yesterday! i think i was just lucky. long beach mini just happened to have this car on the lot. it's not everything i wanted... i would have really liked xenons... but oh well.. the general opinion is "just wait and get what you want"... but.... for $1200 off MSRP i could not resist... thanks long beach mini for making me a deal!!! there's not much else on the car... the only extra options are an armrest (yes!), rear fogs (yes!) and the hifi speakers (yes!)... im only missing my white turn signals and xenons, but otherwise the perfect car... i cant wait to break the car in (well that and waiting for my coilovers)...

Wow, $1200 under MSRP for a JCW? The JCW market must have slowed down much sooner than I thought! Congrats on the new JCW!

I cxould see how this makes sense being thatthe profit on a jcw is much more then any other model

$1200 off MSRP is correct... well perhaps some people will disagree with my savings. My MSRP is based on a price of $2550 for JCW aero kit, which is what mini quotes for the port installed aero kit... ($1595 for the kit plus 955 for paint and labor)... i got the same quote from 3 different dealers... anyways, including the kit my car msrp's out for 33700... i paid 32500... also i made sure they didnt try and get me for any pre-delivery inspection, detailing, or any other bogus fees...

most people i talk to are suprised i got a jcw w/ jcw aerokit for that price. i do remind them that it basically has NO other options other than the jcw package and the aerokit...
