The dealer only gets 300 a year so they can only sell so many of them.

Yeah, normally when you drive a new car off the show room floor the price drops big time, wether its a year old or not. Course any of the classic mini's that went for 3k thirty years ago are being sold for 15-20k today, granted they are in excellent shape.

i adjusted the tr3's purchase price ($2650 in 58) for inflation and it would have been a $16,000 car now

they said 8 weeks ( read the first post ), had 2 lease payments left on the Mitsui,
so they waited 2 weeks and order the mini, so about 7 weeks to go!
changed it to a red with red roof, I can always change the color
of the roof and mirrors at will anyhow.
