MINI's on the lot. A few used MC's, didn't see any unsold S models. There were, however, several MC40's with additional performance add on stuff. List of over $37,000. Bet you can get a BIG discount on one of these babies.

Had you been there about 6 pm, you could have seen me pick up my O5 MCS! I asked my MA Monday about the lack of cars there, she said they would not be getting more until Sept/Oct. to sell. Most of the ones they have coming in are sold already. I can't figure out why they didn't plan better? I have seen other threads her showing dealers with a bunch of new ones hitting the lot.

I am betting that they do not discount the MC 40's until end of the year, even then it will not be that much.

resmini,
$37,000?!?!?!?
What are they thinking? The base MCS is less than $21,000. Add the MC 40 package AND JCW kit and it still isn't that high. You'd need JCW wheels and an aero kit with painted wheel arches or something more.

Maybe there is just a huge $$$ markup tagged onto it.

Can't imagine too many people wanting to get a $37,000 MCS even if it had all those extras.

For that much, you have plenty of choices (pretty close to the price of a Lotus Elise-if you have a year to wait for it).

Did you see a beautiful BRG Cabrio by any chance? Those MC40's were sitting on the lot a month ago when we paid Memphis a visit to order my Cabrio

Your car sounds beautiful, wish I'd have seen it. There was a LY/W 05 S in the showroom that had "sold" written on it. It was a great looking MINI also.
