Buying a new mini question - timbo0409

Hi

I am starting a new business and have decided to buy a mini one for advertising and getting about. I have heard that Mini residuals are quite firm but does anybody know how much the new model will affect this? I have bought all my cars in the past from auction but dont see that many minis come up and am not sure if the price difference will be worth it on a 1-2 year old model against a new one. I had thought about leasing which will cost £200 a month but thought it might be an expensive option over three years.

I would appreciate some advice.

Many Thanks

Tim
