I wouldn't trust the finance/lease numbers on the miniusa website. It's inherently going to be marked up. Once you learn the base MF, RV, it will allow you to negotiate better. I think you're correct about little haggling at mini dealers. In SoCal, there are definitely msrp-straight dealers. I am unaware of anyone right now going below msrp.

Hi siteexperts1. The current residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Mini Cooper with 12,000 miles per year is a whopping 79%. The residual value for an otherwise identical 36 month lease is 68%. Mini is not currently providing any lease support on any models, so if you want to lease one of these cars through its captive finance company, you will have to use its standard lease money factors. Its standard factors vary by region, but they should be around .00200 to .00250.

Hello ejs0614. The current residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S with 15,000 miles per year is a 73%. If you were to lease one with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual value would be 2% higher than that. Mini is not currently providing any lease support on any models, so if you want to lease one of these cars through its captive finance company, you will have to use its standard lease money factors. Its standard factors vary by region, but they should be around .00200 to .00250.

Hi Mani. The current residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Mini Cooper S with 12,000 miles per year is 63%. The residual value for an otherwise identical 48 month lease is 52%. Mini is not currently providing any lease support on any models, so if you want to lease one of these cars through its captive finance company, you will have to use its standard lease money factors. Its standard factors vary by region, but they should be around .00200 to .00250.

Much appreciated Car_man!
I ended up purchasing - with these residuals, it is hard not to feel good about resale value - especially given their track record so far...Much appreciated for all the good info shared here by all.
Thank you!

I'm waiting till closer to the 09 models whenever that is.
Christmas eve (or thereabouts) is the BEST time for any negociation ...except that the VW Tiguan (biodiesel) Suv comes out then and I'd rather have a fuel that I can make myself for $1.50 "if i have to". Mini cooper $5.00 Premium fuel makes it a "no go show boat" Cute it's mpg doesn't live up to its premium gas price.

? There's a negligible difference in price between regular and premium fuel. Seriously, do the math on your average miles v. combined MPGs and multiple that by the cost of regular and premium. Odds are good the gap is a lousy $150 a year.
The regular v. premium argument is inane at best.

True. No argument there. But is there anything to be gained by using Premium as opposed to Regular. The on-board computer will adjust the engine timing to compensate for lower octane and make sure that knocking doesn't occur for regular driving. I'm guessing Premium is necessary only if you're planning to really push your car on race track like conditions?
