Seen THIS at your Dealer yet?

MINI of TOWSON installed this sign on the gate exiting their lot a while back.

Pretty Clever!

I'm not surprised! They do lose ~20% IIRC.

Let's see. I bought my 2003 Cobra for $33k. Sold it 3 years later for $25k and change. That's about a 25% loss, on a limited production car.

Yes, I have seen it in the CT dealer a couple weeks ago.

Must be a fun job working in the ad department for Mini.
