I'm shopping around for an auto loan and thought I may as well check if anybody knew if any of the MINI dealers out there are offering a special auto loan discount of any kind, maybe even for NAM members?

Just thought I'd try!

The local credit unions are around 5%

 

My dealer said the lowest interest rate that mini financial services offers is 5.69%. Besides lease the only other options he mentioned was the Mini select but that just a decreased payment with a balloon payment on the end.

I ended up going with my credit union.

 

My MC is on the boat and we have not started the paperwork for the money end of things. My dealer is a part of the CUDL program with my credit union so I am probably going with the credit union unless they think MINI can do better.

 

Don't forget, you can get your bank to match other rates. Just ask. That's what we did...we were approved at my bank and my wife's credit union. The bank came down but was still a little higher than the credit union. However, the bank included gap insurance. The credit union didn't but I could buy it from them...and that made the rate higher than the bank's so I went with the bank.
