Well you're posting this on a mini forum, so you're going to get mostly very biased answers. But take one for a test drive. If you like it and you don't intend to transport large amounts of cargo I'd say sure go buy it. Many others have bought it paying more than dealers invoice. If you don't like it or the car size doesn't suit your life then don't buy it. I don't think problems or potential problems are a reason not to buy this car though. You get a warranty for a reason.

Hard to say. Dealer invoice doesn't usually include rebates that dealerships may receive. So while they give it to you at 'invoice price' they are actually getting $500 or $1000 or whatever rebate from MINI, especially to help in moving 2015 stock. That being said, many people on here have been happy to pay MSRP on a new mini since most dealers won't offer any break in the price. If you're happy with what the car then go for it. You only live once. Besides, VW is going through a rough patch, Hondas are boring, and nobody wants a Ford
