I know, I waited a little too long so I have to live with what's already available but I want to keep my ECU flash tool and intercooler.

There's not a hatchback at my local dealer and I'm not trading in (selling the S convertible to a friend) so we're looking at other dealers. The very nice sales lady keeps tossing out fears about shipping costs but I think my strategy going in will be "I'll buy this car today if you eat he shipping cost."

Has anyone else had to deal with this? I haven't paid MSRP on a car in a while and I don't really intend to pay over for certain.

 

No need to pay over MSRP. I paid sticker less $750 for mine. Not a great deal but good enough.

 

costco pricing is $1000 over invoice ... thats what I paid for my 2012 JCW coupe last weekend.

 

Midwestern MINI in Columbus, Ohio has a new 2012 JCW Coupe in inventory that they want to unload. White silver with a red roof. I certain that it can be bought for a few hundred over invoice.

 

I found one in Tampa Bay FL. Ended up going with a JCW Clubman.

 

i bought mine back in august and paid under MSRP, by now in mid Oct, especially with 2013's hitting the shore, you should have no issues getting it under MSRP

There was a red one in NorCal that dealer offer 2k off msrp right off the bat. It didnt have BT so i skipped it, but it had lounge leather, etc. It was a hardtop, they might still have it?
