#139 of 282 Re: Clubman and Clubman S lease in No. Cal. [marcz] by feliciatwo May 20, 2008 (5:12 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 282 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.
#145 of 282 Money Factors and Depreciation by rojasam56 Jun 10, 2008 (1:54 pm)
Is there anyway to get the dealer to lower the money factor? Does credit score have anything to do with it?   How can I confirm the expected value the the end of a leaseterm? Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Jun 10, 2008 9:44 pm)
#146 of 282 Re: Money Factors and Depreciation [rojasam56] by blueguydotcom Jun 10, 2008 (9:44 pm)
Replying to: rojasam56 (Jun 10, 2008 1:54 pm) They will tell you the residual percentage. Multiply the percentage against the MSRP and that's the lease return value.
#147 of 282 Re: Lease rates for May 2008 [ejs0614] by Car_man HOST Jun 12, 2008 (1:51 am)
Replying to: ejs0614 (May 20, 2008 3:16 am) You're very welcome, ejs0614. Mini resale values are outstanding. Dealers can't get enough new models. Mini was a success already and the current high gas prices have increased demand for them even more. Enjoy your new ride .   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
#148 of 282 Re: MAY LEASE #'s for Cooper S Coupe [polyvw] by Car_man HOST Jun 12, 2008 (1:59 am)
Replying to: polyvw (May 27, 2008 6:12 pm) Hi polyvw. The residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Mini Cooper S Coupe with a manual transmission is 63%. Mini's money factors vary by region, but they should be in the .00200 to .00250 range.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
