The 2008 MINI MiniE for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 MINI MiniE for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2008 MINI MiniE, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the MiniE
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The electric motor is the powertrain to look at. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers.
At 21.1 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 63 kWh. A full charge is rated for 161 km; plan for less in the cold. The electricity for 100 km comes to about $3.17 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the MiniE
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What the MiniE is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Try before you buy
A test week in the MiniE tells you more than any review. Rent the MiniE first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the MiniE for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $3.17 in electricity. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $31.70 at our price setting.

Rent it for a week before you buy
