Hi leroybrown72. BMW's current 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value for a base 2009 Mini Cooper Hatchback is 70%. Its money factor varies by region. I have not seen its exact buy rate for your area, but it is probably around .00200 to .00250.

put a deposit down on a 08 mini s convertible jcworks selling price $35k leasing for 48months 3500 down for monthly payments approx499 at approx 6% haven't seen the residual value. is this a good deal? what do you think about the mini select program? the reason i'm opting for the mini select is for the unlimited mileage. any advice would be great b/c i'm really not sure if it's a good deal or not.
thanks.

If you have 3500 to put down, do MSDs instead of a cap reduction. Cap reduction is money wasted.

Anyone have residuals and MF for January 2009 on a Cooper S Hatchback for Ohio and Pennsylvania?
 
The ohio dealer *somehow* came up with a monthly rate 150/mo higher than the Mini FInance Calculator...
 
MSRP: $25,830, 36 mo lease, 15k/year, 6k trade-in.

Hi Car_Man,
 
Need of your assistance ASAP.
 
Just put a deposit down for an 09' Mini Cooper and not sure if it's a good deal.
 
MSRP: $20,950
Location: Mahwah, NJ
Mileage: 12K / yr
Term: 36 Months
Due at sign: $2,500 ($1,999 down)
Sec Fee: $250
Dep Fee: $350
 
1) What would you consider a good lease payment with the information provided?
 
2) Could you get me the MF and Residual so I can do some type of ball park figure?
 
THANKS in advance!

Toky,
 
Car_Man is far better equipped to answer this, but to give you something to work with:
 
- first, don't ever put a downpayment on a lease. There are lots of reasons for this which you can learn by reading other posts on this and other forums.
 
- I don't have the January lease program numbers, but using a 69% residual and 0.00250 MF at MSRP for 36 months, capitalizing the destination charge and acquisition fee, I come up with about $308/month + sales tax. This assumes NO downpayment. This isn't perfect, but it is probably within +/- $25/mo.
 
Hope this helps.

Please help me understand this downpayment thing.
Banks are pay interest next to zero these dates. MF 0025 is 6% APR.
If I don't carry any debt and have decent saving in the bank.
Any reason why shouldn't I go for it?
 
Thank you for your time.

Again, you should read through the many threads that have been posted on this subject. Probably the biggest reason is should you total your car during the lease you will likely lose every $ of your downpayment.
 
Instead, I would suggest the Multiple Security Deposit program, which will reduce the MF, and you will get the $$ back should the car be totalled. Ask your dealer or read up on the forums. When I did my lease, the ROI on the 7 security deposits I made calculated to about 8%/year - which is a no-brainer given other investment options these days.
