Hi all:
Just want to introduce myself. You can call me KJ. I have been actively looking for a Mini S in the Bay Area. So far it's been frustrating. It's either $1500 markup above msrp for 3 months or msrp for 11 months. My wife really likes this car and needs a car. I am also addicted to the handling, but feel stupid to pay any kind of markup. There are posted I read that people from my area going to SolCal or even out of state dealer with just msrp. Is it really worth the hassle? Any input from anyone is welcome.

Really not that much hassle...or none depending on how you look at it. We live in Ojai, CA and bought our MCS at Classic Mini from Julie Saxa in Mentor, Ohio. Ordering process was the same ... actually better because of Julie...and when the car came in, I flew out, test drove it, bought it and drove it back over a varied and long drive as a mini vacation. Or not so mini...it took a couple of weeks. Perfect way to break-in and enjoy your new car.

If you don't want to pay more than MSRP and don't want to wait... get it used. I picked up my '05 MCc from Carmax. Already past the break-in period but well within the original warranty periods. Check them out online, they always have MC in stock in FL.
I hope my next Mini will be fresh off the boat
