#661 of 729 2012 Mini Cooper S Residuals and Money Factor? by swerv23

Aug 22, 2012 (8:42 pm)

I am in the market to buy a 2012 Mini Cooper S that has a lot of bells and whistles.
 
MSRP: $31,000.00
SP: $30,000.00
 
Asking for $4,500.00 down and $400.00/month payment. I think this is ridiculous and way too high. Not sure of the money factor they are using and residual.
 
What is the current money factor and residual for 2012 Mini Cooper S?
 
I have a credit score of 740, but because my company I have worked for has always supplied me with a car I have never bought a car. BMW is considering me a first time buyer. I have perfect credit but no installment loans on my credit. They are putting me as a second tier credit, which is crazy because I have an AMEX card that I use for business and payoff $3,000.00 every month for the past 15 years.
 
Help, please. Do you know how much they jack up the money factor for second tier credit? I have asked the dealer to go back to BMW Financial and show them whatever they need to consider me for first tier credit. I have no black marks on my credit and make plenty of money to qualify.
 
Your thoughts?

Looking for some help finding out the August residual and money factor numbers for a 2013 John Cooper Works 2 seater Mini Coupe in the Albany, New York area.
 
Are the September numbers available?
 
Also, does the trim level (base, S, JCW) have an impact on the residual or MF?
 
Thanks for your help.

Hi Swerv,
 
While I can't comment on the residual, I can say that the deal they are offering you is a bit off.
 
My S crested the $30K mark and I got out of there with only first payment down, $435 a month for 36 months at 15K miles a year. I did heavy negotiation on the cost though.

Hi car_man,
  
Can you please tell me the Sept money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of the 2012 and 2013 Cooper HT with 10,000 miles per year? I assume its the same for the S model?
 
Thank you~

Absolutely jjspamcan. Mini's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Mini Cooper Hardtop with 10,000 miles per year are .00140 and 67%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 Mini Cooper Hardtop S are .00140 and 63%.
 
I haven't seen any info on the 2013 models yet.

Hi Car Man,
 
Quick question for you, I am looking at a 2013 Mini Cooper HT with Premium Package lease and 12,000 Miles a year. I am trying to find out the Money Factor and Residual percentage offered to someone with 850+ credit rating. (I could also use the Money Factor and Residual for the "S" 2013 version as well)
 
Additionally, can you advise on what the real cost of the above mentioned car (non S) with an MSRP of 23,500? I am trying to find out what a fair price would be to base the leasing negotiation off of and get a car leased this week.
 
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
 
Thank you
