My Take: You won’t find any discounts here unfortunately. You want a MINI? Order one. You want a deal? You probably won’t find one anywhere. Dealers are known to jack up the MF to make extra cash, so be aware of that. Seems like a common BMW practice so I am not surprised. These babies seem to be very popular these days because of their fuel efficient and go-kart manners.

As if you could actually get the car for invoice…oh well, it is still nice to see the range nonetheless. If I had to get a MINI right now, this is the one I would get. There’s a $500 charge for metallic paint, so you can save some cash if you go with just a glossy paint job. Man, makes me want to get one just looking at the payments. Surely, not the cheapest thing around, but it’s a MINI! It saves gas and you’ll have fun doing so.
