So I contacted my mini dealer to let them know that I would flip my 2013 (loaded) roadster for a comparable 2015 S model if I could essentially keep my monthly payments the same... The roadster does not have to match exactly... I am willing to forgo some options (some) ; just trying to be realistic. They can't find any!!!!! (So far...)They did find one roaster with $3000.00 less options... Not close....supposedly searching inventories within the region first, then the entire country. WHAT UP????

 

The Roadsters have been discontinued...that's WHAT UP.

 

Did you try the MINI Dealership in Tampa, FL?

 

I'm well aware.... But I thought some dealerships would order some for stock....

 

My guess is dealers have historically had trouble selling the Roadster model, hence the reason it's been discontinued. So I doubt you will find much in the way of Roadster inventory anywhere. That being said, you might find a hungry salesperson willing to search the Mini database for a car with your specs and see what it would cost to ship. My guess is you won't get much (if any) break on the sticker price. Good luck!

 

When I picked up my Roadster a couple of weeks ago, my dealer had two Chili Red S Roadsters on the lot. One was a stick with sport suspension, the other an automatic. Beyond that, don't remember how they were equipped. Check out MINI of Ontario

 

Mini North Scottsdale lists 8 2015 Roadsters in their inventory now.

 

Not too many around anymore. Maybe some dealership demos left that were 40K+ .

Good luck.

 

+1

for the money, you'll have way more thrills in that price range, with more power, in something more reliable than a MINI.

Nice find.
