Not an expert but I think your main challenges are
-
You’ve got 1 Mini dealer in all of WA – they probably know they don’t have to play ball. Looking at their website, they’ve got a hilariously high number of inventory for SE (48) but they aren’t aged yet so perhaps they’ll play ball down the road.
-
Without getting rid of the junk add-ons (2k), there’s no chance of getting it any close to the national offer number. Have you asked?
-
The national offer is comprised of the 7.5k credit, their residual number looks right at 59%, and can’t confirm money factor on this quote but should be 0.0018, plus requires a dealer contribution of $560. Not a great offer but these are new so wouldn’t expect to see much happening yet. There may be other dealers in the country but leasing across state lines isn’t something that many wants to deal with.
I would try to find a broker but I don’t think many deals with Minis because they’re pretty niche…
- I don’t fully understand the nuances of WA tax on lease but you might not be able to get the under 45k, sales tax exemption as reported by someone on the following thread.
