Hi there, Am interested in leasing the mini hardtop , with all the add ons I want, the MSRP is about $22,000. Went to one dealership and they wanted about $3500 at sign and about $260 a month for 36 months and 12,000 miles a year. From what I read here, this is a very bad deal. Could you please let me know, with as much info possible, 1) what would be a good deal, 2) what should be the total down payment (bank fees act..) and the monthly charge? Can I get lower than the $249 add? 3) I was told (by the agent) that with Mini you cannot negotiate the price, they use the MSRP. 4) Please be kind and give me as much information as possible, since I do not have any prior knowledge about leasing. Thanks much!

I dread talking to the finance person and still thinking I'm just going to suck it up and buy so I'm not caught at the end of the lease. But I want to be prepared; anyone have current money factor and residual values? I'm going to call there today and see if I can at least get the going purchase interest rates.

Thanks for all the great info already on this thread! I'm about to order a Clubman S and looking at a 10k mi/yr or 12k mi/yr lease. Car_man, you mentioned that the rates are different for each model, do you have the current rates for the Club S? Also, does anyone know for sure if these rates can be locked in on a car that is ordered? And lastly it seems like they may be transitioning to the 2010 model year--does that mean completely new rates? Thanks so much in advance, glad a forum like this is around. Jonathan

Replying to: jmitchell74 (Aug 29, 2009 6:10 am) BMW allows consumers to lock in a lease program on a vehicle that they are ordering, so I don't see why one wouldn't be able to do so on a Mini. Having said this, I doubt that one can order a 2009 Cooper any more. Any order would have to be on a 2010 model, which doesn't have any lease support on it yet. The standard lease program on the 2010 version of this car isn't that bad though. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease on a '10 model would be .00250 and 61% (36 mo., 12k).

Replying to: benjaminnyc (Aug 31, 2009 5:54 pm) As far as a down payment on your lease goes, I always advise consumers not to put money down when leasing. Lessees who make down payments on their vehicles risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You can and should go with a zero down lease. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, it will be much safer.
