MINI has another great advertising idea

Every year, hundreds of well-bred, playful MINI are left alone and road-hungry. We take them in, put them through rigorous inspections and refurbish them with 100% genuine MINI parts. So, they only need a special Motorer to care for them. This month, get a $350 Retail Credit on a 2011 or 2012 MINI NEXT Certified Pre-Owned MINI financed through MINI Financial Services1 to give it the loving home it deserves. In turn, we'll help save the lives of homeless pets with a $10 donation to the Best Friends Animal Society. ® https://www.facebook.com/MINIUSA
