[sherryyao55]

Easy to get a 100% accurate price quote.

1. Go to MINIUSA.com
2. Build your own MINI
3. Look at the right hand column, at the bottom you will see your price.

*** Unless you live in California, then you might have to pay over MSRP

I agree with MrV. Check mini.com

Here MINI's go for MSRP so what ever price you see online it the one it sells for from the dealer.

That figure can vary by a substantial amount. Do you want a Cooper or Cooper S. Hardtop or Convertible? Manual Transmission or automatic?

You can go to www.miniusa.com and build what you want and see the sticker price. Add your state's sales tax, then tack on about another $1000-1200 in fees that have really important sounding names (documentation fee, preparation fee, etc).

I ordered a well equipped Cooper S hardtop. Here is the breakdown:
Sticker Price $27,050
Sticker Price with factory's delivery charge $27,600

What I must write a check for: $30,768.72
What I must write a check for if I get the John Cooper Works Pkg added: $37,018.72

My car has all 4 packages, Park Dist Control, leather, limited slip, chrome interior and exterior, rear fog lamp, Harman-Kardon stereo, rally lamps, rubber and carpeted floor mats, boot mat, boot net, Euro Parcel Shelf and Union Jack valve stem caps.

John Cooper Works runs about $6250, other dealer accessories that require installation run about twice the catalog price (labor is about $100/hr varies by location and dealer greed), and accessories that just toss in like floor mats, boot mats, etc are catalog price.

These are amazing little cars, but shop for a dealer carefully. There are some that charge very high surcharges on the west coast.

Once you decide what you want on your car, make the dealer give you the "out the door" price. All other prices are meaningless. When he presents you with a price, just ask if he'd swap the keys for a check in that amount. If not, send him/her back to the calculator.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I had a dealer (actually a nice enough guy) who gave me a price about $1,300 lower than other dealerships. I drove nearly 3 hours to get there and as we were ordering, I noticed the LSD and both chrome packages were missing from his quote. Once that was fixed, my "miracle price" wasn't so miraculous anymore.

Best of luck,

my cooper was $20650.00 . i did not have to pay tax because it was a trade in.

That is a tough one to answer since there are about 4,000 things you can have on your MINI! I always tell people that a MINI will run you about $18,000 (MINI Cooper Base with tax/title/license) up to $35,000 (MCSC with JCW and many options).

It really depends! But play around on the MINIUSA website and equip a MINI the way you want!

[sherryyao55]

Thank you guys for replying.
Auto Base Cooper is the one I am thinking about.
How much off the MSRP?!

[Kaelaria]

None off. You'll be lucky to get it AT MSRP.

My MCSC which arrives at Port Huemme (or however it is you spell it) on 2/19 is $30600. All packages + leather.

Ditto Patrick in Chicago except $52 doc fee, $150 for title & registration (both standard for any car I have ever bought in Illinois) + tax. No dealer pads of any kind.
