Hi everyone! I just wanted to start a thread for posting little accessories that fit your MINI that you have found useful. I found this little garbage holder that fits perfect in my Countryman and its even washable. I bought it from amazon. Here is a link:

Since I will own one after this deployment, I'm looking forward to this thread!

 

Scosche Magnetic phone mount. Think I paid $5 for it at Walmart. <br/><br/>1RavingLunatic, thank you for your service.

 

Oooh good one! I've been looking into buying one of those but I was hesitant because I wasn't sure it would work. Definitely going to get one now! Thanks! And yes thank you for your service Raving Lunatic and you will love your countryman!

I just have to find a good deal. I'm looking at a lease 10K per year, 36 month @$400 per month...But I have to put $7,000 down. OUCH!

 

That is absurdity.

I last leased a Rav4 and it was $199/mo $0 down, 12K.year lol

 

When I got my Volvo, I got $8,000 off invoice and could have gotten tickets to fly to Sweden and pick it up!

 

From a MINI dealer ?...did they know you were in the active military ? good credit history ?

What about loan thru USAA ?

 

Yeah! Hell, I've been emailing them because I'm deployed, I should start a go fund me page!

 

I don't know if you've done it yet, but check with your base/post Credit Union when you return CONUS. Every car I've bought since 1967 has been financed through a CU. Heck, I've been a member of the Pentagon FCU since 1976. Great rates on new and used vehicles. If nothing else you can google and contact them for info. You're certainly eligible to join. Some dealers and loan outfits love to stick it to a service member if they think they can get away with it. Could just be the cynic in me though.

 

No, the cynic in you is pretty much correct. Not all, but most are.
