Looks like it is just getting worse for MINI and that they are not exempt from the money problems. Maybe this will mean better discounts on new cars...:thumbs up:

Only problem with that is it normally affects your used values also... :frown:

Well I was in VW today getting the Polo serviced, they're offering 6K off a new R32 (obvious really - why buy an R32 when a GTi does 90% performance, but does respectable MPG?) which would really hit your residuals.

I don't think it's just Mini, all the manufacturers are getting hit just now as everyone will be looking at used cars to avoid the hit in residuals.

I might be, but not for a while.

Another MINI, Scirroco or mkVI Golf will be on my shortlist for my next car.
