MINI USA has just lifted the covers on 2013 pricing across the line-up. Lots to talk about and take in but first some highlights: Bluetooth will be standard on every 2013 MY vehicle (formerly a $500 option), replacing Sirius Satellite Radio. Sirius will now be an option ($250) and includes a one-year subscription. The Technology package now includes Sirius Satellite radio, Comfort Access in addition to the existing MINI Connected feature. A center armrest (with integrated iPhone adapter pre-wiring) is also included. A new Premium package ($1,250) has been added for the MINI Hardtop and Clubman that includes the three most-popular options—a Dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Automatic wipers and Automatic climate control. Bundled together, they offer a $500 discount. The JCW now comes with what MINI is calling “the JCW steering wheelâ€. However this could just be the standard wheel with a JCW logo on the button spoke – we’re awaiting confirmation. Kite blue is now available as a JCW option – as we indadvertedly alluded to in our Roadster speccing article a few months ago. MINI Roadster – The semi-automatic roof and rear wind deflector are now standard on all MY 2013 Roadster variants. What about timing of all these change? Here’s the run-down: Model year 2013 production of MINI Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman, Coupe and Roadster will begin in July 2012. Model year 2013 production of MINI Countryman will begin in November 2012. Model year 2013 production of MINI Clubvan will begin in September 2012. Model year 2013 production of the John Cooper Works GP will begin in the fall (exact timing to be confirmed.) Full list of base prices at MotoringFile
The hatch and the roadster went up $200.00, but the Coupe only went up $150.00. Plus with the blue took free, the cost of the JCW Coupe I built just dropped $350.00. Very cool indeed. Jim
So what happened to being able to build a car on miniusa? I want to see if I can now build a $60,000 Mini :crazy:
Maybe it was down for an update. The configurator is there now. I just built a $50k JCW Coupe to test it.
$50k? I'd be picking up a mildly use M3. Or even an M5. Or any number of other things. Just saying. P.S. I did configure a Mini to $57,291. :lol:
Have to be honest, I've been thinking about it. Sooooo tempting. Would be both the first American and a Ford car I've owned since the Ford Mustang II of my youth. What a POS that was. The car, not my youth.
