Deeply Discounted Brand New 2017, normally discounted 2018, or deeply discounted X1?
Would like to get some advices on purchasing a new Mini Countryman.
Dealer still have some brand new 2017 Mini Countryman on their lot and is discounting them for $5,000 off MSRP with possibly some more wiggling room.
Is this considered a good deal? Or should I go with 2018 inventory where only $2,500 off MSRP is offered?
Finally, since we already have a 2013 Mini Countryman ALL4 S, wife wants something different and is looking at BMW X1 given the deep discount available on those $6,000+ off MSRP on any 2018 stock.
Your kindly suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

A great deal is in the eye of the beholder :-)

My wife was looking at the same options x1 or countryman. We ended up going with a 2018 countryman as mini is offering 1.9% on 2018 models. You will get a deeper discount on the bmw but if you plan to finance the interest rate will be higher (I believe 4.9 through bmw financial). Either way my wife ended up preferring the countryman as it felt more substantial to her.

No real difference between 2018 and 2017 Countryman so if options are equal, $5000 off a 2017 is a great deal.
The X1, while based on the same platform and is a similar car, drives very different than the Countryman. It will be more luxurious and smooth, while the Countryman retains that MINI sportiness, despite the lower HP. I find the X1 interior to be pretty boring also. That being said, the X1 does offer some more advanced features compared to the 17 and 18 Countryman such as telematics, available remote services, and a HUD that projects onto the windshield instead of a pop-up from the dash.

I suppose it also depends on your location. I ordered my 2018 JCW, built to my spec (and pretty much fully loaded), in October 2017. It was delivered mid-December in the L.A. area. My cost was MSRP minus 7% (about $3500). Keeping in mind that this was a brand new, factory ordered car, I would tend to agree with Minnie.the.Moocher's thinking.

In our 2017 Countryman, you could disable the Auto Start/Stop function by pressing the toggle switch and that setting state (disabled) would remain in effect even through subsequent restarts. The setting seems to have been associated with the key memory feature.
In our 2021, the Auto Start/Stop function setting needs to be disabled EVERY time we start the car. It seems like setting state is no longer associated with key memory. What a PITA. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

From my subie. Remote auto start/stop with full hvac controls.
Imo the interface seems dated, but all you need is there at your fingertips.
