Mini Financing

Hey everyone,

I am going to get an '09 JCW and I'm looking for advice on Mini Financing. Anyone currently financing their '09 JCW? I'm located in California, if this makes a difference, and I'm totally looking to be an owner - no leasing. Before I go in to the dealership, I wanted to see if anyone can share their experience(s)... Thanks for the help! I'm looking forward to posting pics of my new JCW asap!

~ Alan

Wow, with that deal, are you sure Mini isn't paying you???

That's fantastic.

I bought mine about 4 months ago. I got 2.9 for 60 months. They weren't going less on interest rates unless I went less on months.

My credit score is in the mid 700's... nowhere as near as good as some previous posters with 800+ and next to nothing interest.

Mini Finance was by far my best option - 1.9% - 36 months. Contract is straight forward and uses simple interest.
