Well, it's not official first of all. But, any NAM member who comes closest to guessing the official 2005 Mini prices being announced in July by MINIUSA will be declared the WINNER!!! (Miniusa employees not eligible)

Let's look at the current 2004 MCS pricing structure;

Mini Cooper $16,995 (includes $550 destination charge)
Mini Cooper S $20,449 (includes $550 destination charge)


Looking back, the MCS has gone up only $125 since it arrived in June 2002.
The MC has had a ZERO price increase since it's arrival in April, 2002

I will start the game by guessing first. The MSRP for the 2005 Mini's;

Cooper $17,195
Cooper S $20,595
Cabrio $22,195

 

I guess more

 

According to "J" at MINIUSA, the Cabrio will be +$4k on top of either the Cooper or S.

You all may adjust your fearless predictions accordingly

 

The MSRP for the 2005 Mini's;

Cooper $17,195
Cooper S $20,995
Cabrio $23,195

 

My fearless prediction:
MC: $16,995 (for consistency with history and increased market share)
MCS: $20,699 (includes $250 of additional electronics you'll never use)
MCC: $25,699 ($5k cause its trendy and they know they can)

 

My predictions

MC $17,300
MCS $20,800
Cabrio $24,500

 

Ah hell I posted my Canadian prelim pricing before I saw this. :-) Good luck,fellow motorers (motorors?) oh wait... motorours! That's the canuck spelling...

well from what i herd from my dealer is it will be basically between 24 to 25 base heck the ptgt cost 29 i think now thats crazy

 

ONE DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

huh?

 

I think he means the PT (Cruiser) Convertible (Turbo/GT). PTGT.

That's my best guess, anyway!

And why are MiniUSA folks ineligible? I often hear news here faster than they do. We should reccommend this thread to them so that they know more about what the pricing is likely to be.

 

And what does the winner recieve?

Satisfaction?

Cooper $17,825

Cooper S $21,450

Conv $21,995

Conv S $25,495

 

Okay how about this...

Thats a relief. After some other rumors, I was scared the S would be around 25k and the convertible around 30k. A little off topic: Does any one know how many MINIs they are going to make in 2005?

Actual --------

Cooper $16,999

Cooper S $20,449

Conv $21,500

Conv S $24,950

Metallic paint = $20 increase

And, there are some new options with new pricing.

Good news. I was wrong! Kudos to Mini for keeping 2005 pricing the same as 2004!
