My younger sister is really looking into buying a MINI Base. I have looked into Bay Area dealers for her but the mark-up is from $1,000 to $1,500 for a Base. I'm looking for a dealer that has the car she wants now at MSRP price. Please advise on what my options are as I'm too cheap to pay that $1500 mark-up.

Her color choices are
1 peper white
2 light blue
3 grey meta.
4 black

The options she must have are
- Premium Pkg
- Sport Pkg
- CVT Automatic
- Xenon Headlights

- PDC is a nice have as she is a new driver but not required.

Total came out to be $22,400 (w/ PDC option) so if you know there is a dealer I can go to right now to get this car at this price (or lower :D ) , let me know please!

We would like to stay in NorCal but willing to travel down south (SoCal) or up north wall the way
to OR or WA.

Check out East Bay Mini in Pleasanton. They may or may not have what you're looking for but they're the best.East Bay Mini is the only dealer in the Bay Area selling at MSRP (as a result, they also have the longest wait for a build-your-own order). You may get lucky and find something you like on their lot.

It is also popular to have an out-of-state dealer ship a car to you. MINI of the Hamptons is a MINI2 sponser. See: http://www.miniofthehamptons.com/New-Inventory.aspx

I just discovered this thread on NAM that may be of interest: http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39267

you not cheap to pay for all 3 packages?
Get Sport, Cold and Auto AC(300) if you need one. Premium-waste of mone(IMHO). sunroof in CA? give me a break, 99% is A/C. And HK stereo is not in this package(only for MINI Cooper Conv.)
Xenon-part of Sport pkg
