What is the going rate for MCS in Western Canada?

I'm seriously shopping for a MCS in Clagary and I am wondering what people are paying for them. Dealer says full list price is what I must pay. My neighbor with a 2003 MCS says he paid about $1500-$2000 under list.

Any other advice about shopping for one? It's been 17 years since I bought a new car (or any car from a dealership - done the used car from private seller the last seven times I bought a car since 1986). I'm not stupid about cars, just inexperienced with dealers.

I'm not against driving to Vancouver, Saskatoon or Winnipeg to buy one if they are cheaper there.

Thanks for your help!

Good Day,

I ordered mine from Mini Crowfoot - full list is what you pay - they are selling all they can get so no incentive for them to deal....

Thanks for the feedback, mini-men!

Zoooooom (6x0 in your name) - I couldn't link up to your thread.

Miniman7 - conflict? Is it my name? I didn't do that intentionally, zooooom (5x0 in my name) is a name I use on another BBS. Or is it a problem to ask about prices here?

FYI - my neighbor bought his car from Crowfoot mini.


Thanks
Keep Zoomin'

Discounts in Vancouver....

I think people here in Vancouver are still selling the MCS at MSRP. If you were looking at Coopers and Mini Ones, they are a different story....substantial discounts are possible.

I have just ordered one from MINI Crowfoot as well, no room for price. The retail is what u paid for factory order. There is whole bunch of 02 in MINI Richmond, Vancouver. Go there and check it out as I heard they can take off 1-2k or even more for a 02.

They still have 02 stocks? That's amazing!!
Last time I asked them about the price over the phone on Jan. they already quoted me 2.5k for a discount. I cannot imagine how much discount you could get now! Well give them a call and ask about it. It sure won't hurt

Zooooom, when you call Richmond Mini ask for Judi (manager) and tell him you got the info from Mini2.com!
