I did some calling around because I am very interested in getting a custom built Cooper S. Here are the answers I got from the various dealerships:
Mountain View: $2500.00 over MSRP, and will not take any orders because they already have ~600 on the list
Concord: $2500.00 over MSRP, they will take orders based on allocation. ( The way the guy explained it was kinda confusing )
Sacramento: $1500 over MSRP + $995 "Protection Package" ( Which includes such important things as super paint protection and interior protection mats etc.. just basically unecessary garbage ) They are on a FCFS basis. Check www.niello.com for inventory.
East Bay MINI ( Pleasanton ): They will sell you the car for MSRP. but there is 14 month waiting list for custom orders. Also they put vin etching on the car whether you pay for it or not.
So it looks like in the SFBay area we are screwed if we want a MINI now. Otherwise you have to pay the "have it now" fee of ~$2500.00
Ugh... I want the car. I may pay that... Am I stupid? Any thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
