Actually I have been meaning to ask this as well....

When I ordered the Mini they checked my credit and said it had been approved. However, they also said that the best interest available was 6%. I was told it could change by the time I pick up the car but it wasnt for suresure. I have very good credit and was set on the 1.9%. Any thoughts on what this is about, I'm a novice with car purchases.

 

It is trickery... they never really tell you how they compute qualifications... you could have a 800 pulse score and then they say they take other factors in consideration... I've asked it the past

 

And it states "where Balloon Financing is Available" WTF is that

 

found the answer..... I think I would just get my own financing and make the best deal I can.. that is what I have done in the past... and never do the trade in deal.. sell it instead

There is no balloon in the straight 1.9% finance. My credit union has 3.49% right now, so if MINI should say no my excellent credit is not excellent enough, I would go that route. But I always qualify for the best rate at the credit union, so I expect to qualify at MINI - especially with $10K we have to put down.

Ours will come close to $31K with tax and lic. Less $10K cash down = $21K financed. 21 x $17.48 per thousand financed = $367 a month approx.

There are also online calculators to figure car payment amounts:

It shows at 3.49% financed for 60 months $21K would be $382 payments. Of course you can always pay more every month. Just paid of our 2007 GMC diesel truck in 3 years time by paying extra.

 

Our cars are thru the Panama Canal as of the 4th of July........

Yeah I saw that yesterday too. Hopefull I get lucky and it only takes 2 days to get through customs and inspection.

 

My Midnight Black, S, cupcake is on Glorious Leader as well.

Hoping for a speedy delivery.

 

Glorious Leader docked at Port Huemue about 3:30 today.

 

Sweet, I'm hoping for a 3 days VDC trip max.

 

NW MINI in Tacoma expects to have her by the 20th....

Made a window & sunroof tint appt today at a shop that does high-end cars. Ceramic limo dark for the sunroofs.

 

Has anyone's mini left port Hueneme for the dealer since it got there on the 12th? Mine is still sitting there. I drove 8 hours to pick it up but it seems i may have to fly home. Is my MA just not doing enough to remedy the problem?

 

I bought my new Clubman off the lot in June...is there any way (using the vin number) to track what ship brought it to the US and when it came? Just a thought.

Just PM'd you asking what date you are getting her....... You drove down there without knowing it was ready!?

 

Too bad they don't offer a Drive it off the Ship program it's Like being 5 and waiting on Christmas

 

Geez none of my replys are going through. This weekend was the only one which I could pick the car up. Plus the MA told me from the get go all the vdc problems had been solved. Now the they are saying it will be available the 22nd. The dealer is about 2 hours away from the VDC which is even more frustrating.

 

Are you getting it direct at VDC or from the dealer? The dealer I assume?

Hope mine is on a truck heading north, not stuck at VDC.....

 

Update: the sales manager let me know that they received a shipment of cars Friday and my car was not on it. Aparently the VDC put priority 2 & 3 cars on the truck instead of customer cars. What to do, what to do.

 

Guess we hope for a call come Monday.... Ring phone.......... RING !!!

 

Update,

After 4 truckloads since Friday ( each of which my car was supposed to be on) the car came in Monday afternoon. Waited 3 hours for the various checks and detailing to be done then I was on my way to San Francisco. I MA I'll figure out how to set everything on my own i just need to get the heck put of there I still have 8 hours to drive.

Thanks for all your help.

 

Glad is worked out for you. MA should have shown you everything on a showrrom car while you waited. Starting to wonder about the MA's..........

I got nothing - MA told me it is checked in at port (Duh I know that - been there for 9 days or what!?) - got nothing on release or transport info.......

Where's my D@&! Car!!!

Yesterday afternoon I suggested to my girlfriend that we drive South on I-5 trying to spot the delivery truck. I was mostly joking...mostly.

 

Just got word - same story - trucking company did not stick to agreement and shipped lower priority dealer stock cars first to Tacoma. It's next week now....
