I'm not even going to try and say anything profound and since I'm on a roll with a MINI theme on the blog lately, here's something that made me smile today. While driving up Metcalf, I noticed a black MINI Cooper S on the O'Neill Honda used car lot. While seeing a MINI on a used lot may be a little curious, it's usually because the dealer demos are sold or wholesaled out once they reach 5,000 miles. That's most likely the case here because I looked up the car at oneillauto.com (by the way, I know it's their name but the URL is One Ill Auto.com - goofy, huh?) and the car has 6,200 miles and is pretty much a base model. Here's what made me smile. The price listed on the used Cooper S is $26,995. That's $3,500 or 15% more than I paid for my Cooper S less than a month ago and mine is fully loaded with options. It's also about $6,000 more than you'll pay if you're willing to wait five to six months by placing an order for a similarly equipped new one at Baron. Maybe the new sales pitch, like they need one, should be, "You'll never be upside down in a MINI." (Thought bubble appears over Todd's head - "They're also nearly impossible to roll too...") Hmmm, hey MINIUSA, I've got an idea for you...
