7.08% (0.00295) money factor is kinda high.
 
Don't know if you have family who are members of NFCU but you can get a far better lease rate through them. They offer a 4.4% (0.00183) for 36 month, 45k leases - you can probably get better residuals from them for your 24k mile lease. They charge an origination fee of 2% of the msrp added to the sale price as the lease initiation fee. I believe on a 45k/3 year Cooper S they told me the residual is 68%.
 
I did it up on leaseguide.com for NFCU's number on a 3 year 45k mile lease for a Cooper S:
 
MSRP: 25350
Origination fee 2%: 507
Mf: 0.00183
Tax 9.1% (egad!)
64% residual (aimed low but I think they said 68%)
Monthly payment: $382
Gap insurance included
 
So if you have family in Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) - brother, mother, uncle, roommate, wife's family, etc - you can join NFCU. It's worth it.

lease buy back by bgates222

ok ive not come across this before
My mother leased a mini cooper in 2006 for 2 years and 24k miles
now its time to turn the car back in and to my dismay she has 6k miles on the car
and they want around 18k for the car if she wanted to buy it. It seems to make more sense to buy the car and either keep it or sell it on our own because with that kind of milege wouldnt they make a killing on it? Or can we use it to get into another brand new car ? thtnks in advnace

Yes, you can actually trade in a lease and benefit from the equity, if in fact there is any. Just get a trade-in value quote. If it is more than the buyout, then that is your equity.
 
If you want the true trade-in value, try posting the details on The Real-World Trade-in Values board.

2009 MCS Lease Rates for October, 2008 by jon330cic

Car_Man - I know they probably aren't out for a few more days, but could you please post the 2009 MCS Lease Rates for October, 2008 when they are released?
 
I've worked up a lease proposal based on the only numbers I could find (I think these are Aug-08 numbers for the last 2008 models):
 
09 MCS, 36 mo, 36K mi
Base MF: 0.00219
Residual: 64% (62% 15K/yr + 2% for 12K/yr)
Base Acq Fee: $625.00
 
It would be great to know if these have changed for the 09 model (residual higher?) before I present it to my dealer.
 
Thank you!
Jon

I recently was quoted $410 month on an 09 CooperS, with options stickered for $29665. This is with $2500 down and 10,000 year mileage, and a 24 month lease, what u think??

I am in Los Angeles, CA. Which mini dealer do people here suggest? My girlfriend is interested in pretty much the base model (though w/ auto). Anyone out there got recent lease terms (cap cost, residual, etc) for 12,000 (and 15,000) for 36 months?
 
She is also a recent graduate? Anyone here take advantage of the new graduate program?
