Yes the Mini is fineally being soild in South Korea. Expensive though. A 2005 MCS, automatic runs about $40K. Yikes. A lot of import tax and luxury tax. When I drove to the dealer there were more people looking at my Mini and taking pictures then there were inside the dealership. So far within in one week the dealership has taken over 250 orders. Only 800 total cars will be sold per year from the dealership

I brought my 2004 CR/B MCS here last year from the USA and it was one of 4 or 5 in country. Soon there will be more Minis running around here late July or early August.

The Seoul Motor Show is coming up in April. I will attend and am hoping that the Mini will be featured. I will provide pics of this event as well as the Mini Korea dealership later.

Motor On

 

Pretty cool, how different from the US spec are they?

 

I heard the MCS won't be available until couple more months. is it true?
I think Mini is car that fits well in Korea.

 

The Cooper will start at arond $30K!!
