Hi Car man, thank you for the info. My ordered 2009 Mini Cooper S won't come until Sept 21. Are the lease numbers for Sept different than August? Thank you in advance.

You're very welcome, Jonathan. I'm glad that you find this discussion so helpful. Mini's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Cooper Clubman S with 12,000 miles per year are .00220 and 62%, respectively. The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
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).

Hello Ben. Mini's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Cooper Hardtop with 15,000 miles per year are .00200 and 62%, respectively.
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.

No problem, texgas. This car's September lease program is slightly different. Its Sept. buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of an '09 Cooper S with 15,000 miles per year are .00205 and 60%.

I have a limited amount of money monthly right now and own a beautiful motorcycle that I don't want to trade in so leasing seems like a good idea since I take such good care of a car. My mileage is regular to less than 12,000. Am I crazy or can one lease a MINI for 240 per month? A 2009 is fine but like the convertible S model. All the extras don't matter at this time. Any advice from experience out there? I am in northern ca.... I was thinking since I only will drive it winter months I could go used like a 2003? A MINI owner freak about the car says don't buy under 2005 they had problems... ?? Help

Hi 2003vrod. I bet that I can guess what bike you own . In your post you mentioned that you are interested in leasing a Mini for $240 per month. Interestingly, that's close to the advertised payment that Mini is touting right now (sometimes it appears on the right side of this page in the add). Mini is currently promoting a $249 per month lease on a base Cooper Hardtop. Of course, this lease requires a $1,000 down payment and your monthly payment would be higher if you are in a state that charges sales tax (which unfortunately most of us are ).
Unfortunately, you definitely will not be able to lease a Cooper convertible for $240 per month. You certainly will save money by going with a used car, but you will not be able to lease a used one. You would have to finance it instead. Plus, used Minis actually tend to hold their value fairly well.

Considering the Owners Choice financing option -- I'm seeing a residual of 57-58% on Clubman S and Clubman. Two dealers gave me same information -- this is in Texas. 12,000 miles per year. Any thoughs on this is accurate? Is this set by Mini Financial?
