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?

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?

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.

Replying to: coasterguy (Jun 12, 2008 6:14 pm) 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. |

Replying to: Car_man (Apr 25, 2008 1:17 am) Just receied a quote from Midwestern Auto Group in Columbus Oh on 2 and 3 year leases with 76% and 66% residuals respectively (10,000 mi/yr). Also the quote included a money factor of .00359 which seemed a little high. Payments were 348 and 359/mo with 3k down. Do you know what BMW's money factors are right now? Thanks, gman71 |

I went to MINI dealership in Mountain View of CA in February. We ordered a new MINI, base model/auto transmission, with a lease contract, 12k miles/year, 3 years. I choose to put down about 24XX so the monthly payment is about 260.xx. I lease it for my wife and she loves the car. These days we drive this car a lot because it is really a gas saver, 34 mpg with 70% highway. I think this is a good deal because February economy was soft and gas price was so as high as today yet. I believe these days people have to pay more to get a MINI out of the door because there are so much demand for small cars. And cost of steel and paint are going up rapidly. Inflation is here apparently.
