I'm just wondering what the range of prices for the JCW kit installation are.

Pittsburgh is $5600

 

Pittsburgh charged me 6600 :>O

 

This is the "base" JCW kit without the CAI. There are three dealers in Pittsburgh. Mini of Pittsburgh is the only "authorized" one under the new rules I understand.

 

The JCW Kit now includes the air intake and larger injectors, and costs $4,650 an increase of $150 over the "old" kit. Any dealer with "old" kits would have to discount them to sell them or throw in the $525 upgrade kit at no charge.

JCW Kits are probably most expensive in SF Bay Area where labor rates are $125-150 per hour and sales tax is at least 8.25%.

 

I had it installed on a brand new 2005 MCS at Mini of Pittsburgh and they added 6600 to the base price of the car... Sounds like I got charged too much (this was Monday)

 

The official installation instructions for the "old" kit indicated approximately 9 hours of labor, although I think most dealers were charging at least 10 hours. Add 1.5 to 2 hours for installing the larger injectors and air intake, and I think you could reasonably expect to pay for 12 hours of labor on the current kit.

Find out your dealer's labor rate and you can calculate what would have been a reasonable charge.

Here is a thread to some JCW info I posted earlier today.

Does the JCW cold air intake come with the kit? The website lists it as an extra cost option.

If you received the air intake (and associate injectors/map) along with the kit for $4650, please tell me where you got it

 

$5500 installed in OH before delivery to SF, and no sales tax.

 

All 2005 JCW Kits include the air intake and larger injectors:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=32457

The air intake and larger injectors are available as an upgrade for the "old" JCW Kit for $525.

The air intake is available for the non-JCW MCS for $450.

 

Unless the $5500 was included in the sale price reported to the DMV

 

I paid $5650 for mine as well, installed. $4650 for the kit, and $1000 for labor.

 

That the price without install.


I was quoted $6700 from my MA during purchase...Then I asked my SA and ask him for his price and got a quote of $5800.

 

I paid a total of $5700 for my 03 JCW kit from Crown MINI of Richmond. This price included both installation and VA sales tax (~$200). I think now they charge $6000 plus tax.

My upgrade kit arrive yesterday from Classic MINI in Ohio. I paid about $480 as they gave me a 10% discount.

 

$6300 at MINI of Sterling in Virginia. But in all fairness they were trying to match the regular installed price from Crown MINI in Richmond, because I threatened to buy the car from Crown if they did not come down in price.

 

Paid $6400 in Los Angeles for the full '05 kit installed. Then again I got mine done on Sat/Sun while I was driving the weekend car and I didn't have to wait weeks for an apointment :-)

 

Which dealership in OHIO? Classic in Cleveland?
