And the GP's are hitting the used lots

I'm getting excited, the GP's are falling in price already. I did a quick search on cars.com

There's even one for 34.5K, at this rate, this time next year I may just be driving a GP and probably replacing tires on it lol

The number of unsold units are dropping. Our local dealer sold 4 of 5, with just one remaining. You can still find them for sure, and must very tempting for anyone considering a JCW before the cutover to the F56.

I saw a GP2 at my dealer today. But it was parked at the end of the row, like nothing was special! All the display slots or whatever were the paceman

I've driven every version of the modern MINI from R50 through R61. Drive a GP2, it does not disappoint. Fantastic car with brilliant handling.

I agree completely... The people staring at you as you drive up the road is kind of annoying though... who needs special

Be patient. I just picked my used Mini GP with 5000 miles up this weekend at dealer in S. FL for $31k. Local dealer had a new Mini GP but wanted $38k.

I love my GP but it is a hard sell for 40k with no rear seat,cruise and other amenities! You either want one or you don't, I have no children no worries and think that this car is worth every penny!!! Drive one...

Is there a way to do a national search for unsold GP2's, or any other MINI, for that matter?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...p=docslist_api should give you what you need. Looks like 65 to go.

You guys obviously don't know who the legendary rkde is. He's a MINI god! The GP2 is a well dressed R56, I've to admit. The 06 GP1? Hands down, the best MINI out there.

As of 3/27/2014, Schomp MINI in Denver had both a new GP2 and a used GP2 on their lot. As I understand it, the used one had been traded in for a special edition BMW M3 because it's owner was in need of a more family friendly car (back seats).
