That is the smart money way
I agree... money is cheap, I'd finance at those rates.

but you won't even get 3-4% on a CD or money market acct these days. Unless you lock it up over 3 years. 5 years gets you over 3%. Which would not be a good idea in my opinion.

Yes, they sure do. I even asked him NOT to go over the car with me. He said OK as long as I give them a great survey. I do buy my jeans at outlet stores and ride my bike to work. I suspect I will make up the money around 2023.

(I bought my Mini used at a different dealership, so I don't know.)

I'd assume that if you were custom ordering a car, you'd have to pay MSRP, but how does it work with cars on the lot and on their way? Have the recent buyers been getting their cars for less than retail?

Please let me know, thanks!

i was gonna do a custom order sept 01 but my MA found me an 09 already on its way, $752 off a $27100 MSRP. 1.9% APR 60 mos, free wheel locks, rubber mats front and back, cargo nets plus almost no waiting

go pure silver again, on the S

More like Scion pricing, and here's the general rule:

dealer stock = deep discounts off msrp possible, how much depends on dealer density in any given area. The Pac NW is not very dense with MINI 'ships, so if U can get $1-$1.5K off msrp go for it!

ordered car = deep discounts not likely, I mean why should they? Unless it's a customer-ordered backout or reject that turned into dealer stock. People who claim they got $2K off their "ordered" car are lying through their teeth.

good luck.
