Down in Orlando, it seems the local MINI dealership there is on wheels – when GPMINI first headed south the dealership was in one location; earlier this year when GPMINI got serviced, the dealership was brand new and quite close by … now on my latest trip, the dealership has moved AGAIN and is much farther north!
Meanwhile, as we know, MINI of Peabody will be moving at some time; right now, the old “pink elephant” dealership location on route 114 is being rebuilt as the future Acura, which then frees the current Acura location (next door to BMW of Peabody) so that the MINI dealership can be moved … artist impression pictures have been displayed for a long time.
What’s interesting though, is the note about “two dealerships” and another artists impression image; note the name on the sign – MINI of Manchester …
It’s clear that MINI USA thinks there’s still lots of sales available for MINI, and they have plans for more dealerships as well as more car designs – but I hope they also have plans to put the “want” back in to the cars, so all these new dealerships don’t have nothing to do!
Driving home tonight past a bunch of dealerships I saw a billboard that said “San Diego MINI – a new playground coming soon”
very nice european look showroom.
Acura of Peabody is already in the new dealership. I think the old dealership has already been stripped out.
I’m surprised they didn’t just put a couple of MINIs in the old Lamborghini dealership. it’s just sitting there empty now
