Dear forum, after having struggled with me for several years, my decision has finally matured to give me a mini (as a second car), as long as I as an old bag do not make myself completely ridiculous in such a car. At times I have thought of living out my midlife crisis to the fullest and at least to buy a Cooper S, if not a JCW, but then reason has won: I cannot keep such a poison dwarf in line with species and as a second The Mini should replace a Skoda Fabia with 110hp and be used especially in daily commuting to work, with urban traffic and speed-limited motorway sections. Therefore, the choice has fallen on a Cooper automatic. Now my research has revealed the following alternatives: 1. New car can be paid in by the dealer, no attractive cash price or financing/leasing offers 2. Vario-Finanzierung übe r Sixt: For mini-ratio at present quite cheap (total purchase price after the end of the financing still slightly below the cash offer of the local dealer) No payment possible 3. EU cars from the well-known EU dealer: Also cheaper than local trade but hard to understand price list. Apparently the EU cars have a different standard equipment and not all extras are configurable. No payment. 4. Young used from the local trade. Mostly little attractive, Since minis are good at maintaining value and most offers have full hut, with many extras that I don’t want to pay (especially don’t want to pay) and which are used hardly cheaper than an individually assembled new car. However, there are currently also a large number of young, used minis that have apparently run as a rental car and are marketed quite cheaply. I wouldn’t have a problem with the rental car past. However, these vehicles have largely only accountants. I realize that I have to make the decision myself and I will do it myself, but I would like to have a picture of your mood and perhaps even a suggestion, which I have not yet thought about or which possibilities I may have missed so far. Thank you in advance.
