Option 2: Purchase Your Leased MINI
Since most MINIs hold their value so well, hanging onto yours is a wise decision. You can either finance the total amount due with MINI Financial Services or simply send a cashier’s check or certified funds to pay it off. If you decide to purchase your current MINI outright, you will be responsible for its residual value, any fees and taxes, and any past due payments or charges.
Option 3: Return Your Leased MINI
The third option allows you to return your lease and walk away hassle-free after an inspection and any additional required payments are paid. Your inspection should take place about a month before you’re due to turn in your MINI. You will be contacted by us or a 3rd party to schedule this inspection.
MINI Turn-In Steps

- Schedule an inspection
- Review MINI Lease-End Inspection Form
