Last time I checked the MINI Countryman inventory through out So. California MINI centers, the number was around 140 cars (April 9, 2011). Today I checked it and the current inventory of MINI Countryman models is at around 155 cars [unofficial]- including Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper S All4. Of those, 122 are Cooper S models including ALL4 which makes up less than 15% of total S models. That leaves only 33 cars to be non-turbo Cooper. Regular cooper model is certainly in short supply. With MINI Rocks the Rivals and its $1000 off promotion, I believe Countryman sales is quite strong and 155 car inventory is a good news for those who cannot wait and would like to utilize $1000 off certificate. I've also been noticing more fellow Countrymans on the road. I won't be surprised if the sales of Countryman goes over 2,000 mark in May for the first time.
Also, word around the net is many dealers are now out of 2011 production slots and all custom orders will have to wait till 2012 model year production begins. MY2012 production is scheduled to begin in September of this year - and as announced, there will be an option for rear bench seat. Making matters worth, parts for MINI Connected and Steptronic automatic transmission is currently in very short supply resulting in delay and cancellations.So.. chances are, if you are looking to buy a new Countryman, you will either have to choose from dealer stock or wait.
