Is it hard to find a used vehicle with all these items:Same colour dash & door trim, combo Packages 1, 2, & 3, chrome Line interior, & chrono package.
The reason I asked is there is one here on this site, but wanted to know how often do you see these vehicles come up for sale?
Thanks

 

Try a dealership site... They should have most of what you want on a car... I think MINI of the Hamptons had a lot available.... check em out... or give Julie Saxa @ Classic MINI a call... I'm sure she can help

Good luck!

 

hard to say oliver. not sure what you mean by same color dash and door trim, they're always the same, but can be different colors. if you mean the same color as the exterior, then if i remember correctly that was only available starting in '05... so right there that cuts out all '02-'04's...

combo packages are pretty popular, especially sport and premium. but if you are that specific that you know what you want, then i'd say it would take a while to find exactly what you're looking for. they say it's something like a 1/100,000 chance that two mini's are alike...

hopefully that helps...

 

mine except chrono package

 

Problem is that, the Hamptons is quite a bit of a distance from me here on the west coast, but I do appreciate the recommendation.
I prefer a preowned as it works for my budget.

 

You will always be better off ordering a MINI exactly how you want it. The really good dealerships usually do not have a long wait and can order your can quickly and deliver quickly.

I'll second the advice to give Julie @ Classic MINI a call. . .

 

So you don't care what color, just so long as the dash matches?
MC or MCS?
Saying what your budget IS would help.
Chrono pack isn't very popular, but I don't know what the % is.
You're looking for a ~1 year old car. Not that many come up.
The more flexible you are, the greater your options.
I searched for my MCS for ~2 years.

 

Moving from Marketplace to MINI Talk.

 

As I understand, west coast dealers have markups and waitlists still?

MOTH and Classic have been known to split the shipping costs, and I think MINI of Pittsburgh offeres free shipping! Delivered to your door!

The resale value is very strong on MINI's still if you are looking at an 04 or 05 then you will only save maybe $1000 or $2000 over MSRP, again being you are out west, I would bet $1000 would be a more resonable numbers since dealers are selling for above MSRP

You should give the others a look.

What color are you looking for?

 

As MINI continues to undersupply the US market with new cars, I suppose it will always be hard to find a used MINI with specific specs.

 

I have to disagree with some of the comments above concerning non-availability in the 02-04 cars. If you are concidering a MCS and like Dark Silver, you can find one that has the anthricite interior which essentially matches the exterior color. That is what I have on mine and it looks great.

 

Either yellow, gray, or red

 

Classic has like 55 in stock
Mini of Pitt has 46
MOTH has 28
