Paid $22,849.00 April 24,'04.

That was list price.

MCS $20,449
Premium package $1,300
DSC $500
17" S-lites $600

I bought a car that had already been ordered and was on it's way to Jackie Cooper MINI in Oklahoma City. Had I ordered one I would not have ordered the DSC or 17" S-lites so it would have been $1100 cheaper. The S-lites brand new and with brand new tires are for sale. Never use the DSC.

An extremely well spent $22,849!

I'm not disappointed that I took a car already on order rather than ordering one.

Oh yeah, "free" front floor mats!

Have fun!

I tried to pay in chickens and goats, but the dealership insisted on taking actual currency.

$20,200 (I think) for an '04 MC with CVT, HK system, cold package, Union Jack roof decal, fog lights, and a couple sets of floormats.

If tearing up the autocross is your goal, get the regular MC with as few heavy options as possible. The regular Cooper is more competitive in HS than the S is in GS.

I paid about $24k for my MCS with too many heavy options

I got my 2004 MCS for $20,949. The only option I got was the HID headlights for $500. I had to wait a year to get it for MSRP here in socal, but it was worth the wait

Nope. Wet Okleys from DiamondRacing.com. Can get in many color combos. Mine came to about $250 for the set. Thanks for asking.

Neoprene seat covers

Those seat covers are from Wet Okole, a Hawaiian outfit that makes them out of wetsuit neoprene fabric. Originally made for Jeeps in Hawaii I have some in my New Beetle and they are very durable and fit great.

With taxes and all, about $19,500 I think. I got the base MINI Cooper with the Checker top, and the Sports Wheele, and some of the stem covers. My dealer, (Ferman MINI of Tampabay) wanted to do the invisa-sheild thingy, but they dropped it and went list price for me. It was a brand new 2004. I love it!

P.S- I just got my NAM sticker for my MINI, Going to wash it and put it on, thanks everyone!

A little under $19,000.......got $350 off MSRP which offset the $249 BS "documentation fee" and $57 Memphis tax. They also threw in free floor mats and a couple of extras at dealer cost. I was happy.:smile:

Hey There,

I think I paid right at $19,000. The cars were selling like crazy that day and I jumped in line to buy one off the lot. My Mini has the folowing:
• Moonroof
• Spoiler
• Chrome Inserts
• 15" 7 hole wheels
• Cloth interior

I did have the top painted to solid blk (originally white).
