#141 of 287 Re: Clubman and Clubman S lease in No. Cal. [blueguydotcom] by 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.
#145 of 287 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)

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.

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 287 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
#149 of 287 Owners choice financing? by coasterguy Jun 12, 2008 (6:14 pm)
I am getting ready to trade in a my car for a 2008 Mini. I was thinking of leasing as I keep buying and never, ever pay off the car before I trade it in. They told me of the Mini Financial program of Owner's Choice. Anyone? Any input? Lease? Any thoughts? Thanks. Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Jun 12, 2008 7:14 pm)

Replying to: coasterguy (Jun 12, 2008 6:14 pm) Don't trade in your car. They'll abuse you on resale value.   Check Leasecompare for better lease rates than BMWFS offers. BMW does little to prop up the mini with leasing as it's such a cash cow. This is the exact opposite of leasing a BMW 3 series which gets tons of support from BMW.
