Crown Mini in Richmond, VA, has a pic of what they claim is a 2014 Justa hardtop. http://www.crownmini.com/VehicleDeta...-VA/2051252453

It's definitely a new body style, but they list it with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine...and a ridiculously high price.

I was under the impression that the new Justa wan't going to be available here in the US until next spring, but that pic surely looks like a new model to me.

I'm lost!

Can anyone clarify?

 

A: That's an S. They picture the badge and engine
B: It's not a new body style Cooper, it's a Paceman
C: It looks to be an All-4 all trimmed out with options

Though I don't agree with the pricing of MINI's brand new, that doesn't look outlandish for dealership.

 

Ah, ok, Injected. Thanks for your help.

 

Not a problem. Just a very observant person lol. I'd love some of these new MINI's, but after owning my 07 S for a bit, I can't really justify new prices for the build quality/feel inside compared to other cars in the $30-40k price range.

 

I'm in Richmond and just bought a MINI Cooper S hardtop - good guys but they just wouldn't budge on the price one penny. And yes - as said before that is just the Paceman that they have listed there. A little bit confusing.

I ended up buying my car from Checkered Flag down in VA Beach. Good experience and worth the drive!

 

Any time a dealership flat out wont haggle, I walk away. Very few cars are in demand enough to demand that kind of rock solid pricing. NO Cooper S is on that list.

 

No kidding. Its not like people were mobbing the dealership trying to nab cars! I was usually alone on the lot. It seemed like the sales person was very interested in making a sale, plus I had just totaled my car and was in need of a car, so its not like I was some flake! But they WOULD NOT BUDGE. Just some preferred customer discount (whatever that means) of like $400 off of the MSRP. Other than that - they wouldn't budge a penny, even on a justa. Needless to say, that was the end of that deal.

 

I went to one mini dealer and he refused to go lower than MSRP. Said no thanks and got a flat 3 1/2 % off of the same vehicle at another dealer. Some people are just too greedy for their own gud.

 

Not even lower than MSRP?? Wow. Good for you. You know, I ended up getting a 2013 Cooper S for a little over 22K. I told the guys in Richmond that it wasn't going to happen - that I found a great deal someplace else. I gave them an opportunity to try and match, or at least get close. They didn't. Instead, they started bad mouthing the dealer - telling me to watch out for a 'high mileage' demo car. Sure, the car had 200 miles on the odometer, but I could really care less. Its new, has a great, long warranty, and is 200 miles closer to being broken in. All in all, it was definitely worth the 2 hour drive to save $4000.

 

High mileage? 200? That's VERY typical mileage on a brand new car. Sounds like that dealership can go pound sand. They lost a customer who gave them 2 chances to seal a deal. Pretty bad business practice.

 

No joke! I was like, "200 miles? That's nothing!" Luckily I was able to exercise a tiny bit of patience and find the car I wanted at an awesome price!

 

I have purchased my last 3 cars at thousands under MSRP by finding one off "specials" that specific dealers were trying to blow out. Heck even if it's out of state, find a deal for $4000 off msrp, it's totally worth it :D And 200 miles is not bad. Good job on finding a deal!
