it's probable that the incentive is still on. even better, just saw on dealer's website that MINI has 0.9% financing i guess it's a really slow car season. more than likely, you will have to choose between the 2 incentives.

update: the 0.9% financing (up to 60 months) is for November! Dealers are updating their websites. pretty sweet!!

update: a member here was able to get additional $1000 MINI incentive

MINI was offering 0.9% (60 months) in November 2009 also. The deals will get better in a couple of months. You can expect 0.9% AND free auto trans. or free package worth $1,250.

Official release: MINI USA reported sales of 3,950 automobiles, a decrease of 5.4 percent from the 4,176 cars sold last year. Year-to-date, MINI USA also reported sales of 38,538 automobiles, a decrease of 1.6 percent from the 39,172 units sold in the same period of 2009.

MINI is hurting.

UAL, you're right. with the introduction of more competitions from fiat and ford (with it's fiesta), and just poor seasonal car sales, the incentives MINI gives out are really good for us buyers. it's definitely a buyers market right now.

I just did a calculation on a car loan

$13,000 loan @ 3.9% (October rate) for 60 months = $238.83 monthly

$14,000 loan @ 0.9% (November rate) for 60 months = $238.71 monthly

Going from 3.9% to 0.9% allows you to add $1,000 to your build. $1,000 could almost get you a Package ($1,250) that you really wanted but couldn't afford or couple of accessories from your wish list.

That is going to be $1,000 on top of what you already negotiated with your dealer.

Did you purchase from South Bay MINI in Torrance?

Someone on these forums said there is a $1,000 incentive for November. I am unaware of such an incentive. For October, there was a unpublished $1,000 off that the dealer could elect to give you, but they were not obligated to do so. Perhaps this unpublished incentive is still available for November. I am sorry I am not very helpful.

The only thing I am aware of is the interest rate from MINI USA going down from 3.9% to 0.9%. This will save you $1,000 on a $14K loan.

No worries- I found the thread, thanks.
Yes, that drop in interest rate is pretty awesome.
