With the coming of the R57, has anyone seen any east coast dealers selling '07 cabrios below MSRP? or is everyone still charging full MSRP?

 

MSRP where I live

 

R57 isn't expected until early 2009 in the states. I doubt that you'll see any discounts for a car that is 2 years away.

 

Sorry meant to include the R56 in first post: is any of this affecting actual prices or is it still MSRP?

 

No. '07 MCS Cabrios are selling at MSRP based on all my inquiries.

 

Here is a link to Cincinnati Mini. They are offering a discount on select 06 Mini's. I know you said 07 but not much difference if any. And for $850 that can buy some mod's. Also check the new car inventory.

Here in OKC it's MSRP (unless there has been a VERY recent change).

I paid MSRP for mine this month in CT. When I suggested otherwise the salesguy looked at me like I had three eyes...LOL.

 

Thanks for all the input . . . this will help with my search for a car in the next couple of weeks.
Looking forward to joining your ranks.

 

They were really pushing an 06 MCSC in Silver in the Showroom I was at, and I would have considered it if it had LSD...but it did not...was offered at 1500 off MSRP.

I emailed most Mini Dealers up and down the entire Eastern Seaboard, looking for the config I wanted in an 06 - none were available. Seems LSD is kinda rare in a MCSC.

Did notice many dealers had 500-1000 off on their 06's MCs, listed right on their homepage.

So had to order an 07, at MSRP...did manage to get floormats and a WindScreen tossed in...Delivery date - Early March!

 

Another thing, make sure you get to a credit union for your auto loan...if you are not a member, join...

Currently rates at mine are a *full* 2 points below Pittsburgh National Bank's rates; Credit union on a 5 year loan - %5.25.

At the dealer, when they found out I was going thru a credit union, they didn't even bother with the MINI or BMW financing...pretty much conceded they could not match or beat a credit union...without even finding out what rate I had been quoted...they basically gave up. Go credit union.

 

Just paid MSRP in the boston area this last weekend. Might have been able to do something on a 06 but even that might have taken some work.

 

Well, Patrick MINI has an offer until Jan. 31 of $1000 off any 2006 in stock.
