#135 of 287 Re: clubman s residual and money factor? [ejs0614] by Car_man HOST May 20, 2008 (2:07 am)
Replying to: ejs0614 (May 06, 2008 5:51 am) 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.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: davezz1 (May 09, 2008 1:29 pm) 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.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

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! Replies to this message: Car_man (Jun 12, 2008 1:51 am)

Replying to: marcz (May 12, 2008 4:14 pm) why don't you guys look at the Edmunds Lease / rebate secton....they post the deals as they come available. 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.

Replying to: feliciatwo (May 20, 2008 5:12 am) ? 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. Replies to this message: waterflame (May 23, 2008 4:11 am)

Replying to: blueguydotcom (May 20, 2008 8:54 am) 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?

#143 of 287 Went to Mini Calabasas - by umpalumpa Jun 01, 2008 (8:19 am)
yesterday i stopped in there and they were telling me on on the clubman - which they were all out of btw - they were seeing no money down leases in the $600 range! that is crazy for a car w/ such high residuals and relatively low price. so they are definitely messing around with the money factor...oh and the $3000 markup hurts too! people are buying them, so i guess they can do what they want.   Question: will leasing through a service like leasecompare or carsdirect eliminate the markup that most dealers are charging?

Replying to: umpalumpa (Jun 01, 2008 8:19 am) Like a purchase, you negotiate purchase price. as for leasing figures, check leasecompare.com as you might find a much cheaper lease rate on the clubman.
