Lease Buyout Rules
MINI Financial Services allows the original lessee to purchase the leased vehicle at any time, with specific conditions based on state regulations.
- The purchase option price (residual value) is specified in the lease agreement. Contact MINI Financial Services at 866-646-4463 or log into your account to obtain a payoff quote.
- Buyouts must be processed through an authorized MINI dealer, not directly with MINI Financial Services. Customers cannot send a check directly to complete the buyout.
- Third-party buyouts are permitted in some states, but restrictions may apply. Dealers must request a dealer payoff quote, which may differ from the lessee’s residual value.
- A signed Odometer Disclosure Statement must be submitted via the dealer, as required by federal law.
- Early buyouts are allowed if permitted by the lease contract, but may include remaining lease payments and a purchase option fee (typically up to $500).
- The disposition fee may be waived if you lease or purchase a new MINI or BMW vehicle.
- Additional fees (e.g., sales taxes, registration, title fees) may apply, varying by state. Contact your local DMV for details.
Contact your authorized MINI dealer or MINI Financial Services at 866-646-4463 to discuss buyout options and confirm eligibility, providing your account number or VIN.
Lease Transfer Policy
MINI Financial Services allows lease transfers, enabling another party to take over your lease with approval, subject to specific restrictions.
