Replying to: pjo1966 (Sep 18, 2007 4:45 pm) What kind of numbers were they giving you? Oh, I'm in California as well. I think the state you are in also comes into play with the MF. With the 1/2 pt. decrease in interest rates today, I am going to fight for a lower MF. Logically speaking it should go down. Here's what I did to try and find the current Buy Rate. I called dealers and asked to speak to the financing guys. Spin your own story and if you're lucky you'll get the rate out of them. Call when they are busy. Post what you find out! |

Replying to: esgam (Sep 18, 2007 6:04 pm) A67 British Racing Green Metallic ZPP Premium 205 Automatic A47 Color Line Dark Grey (whatever that is) 4BD Interior Surface Piano Black MSRP $25450 Price $25750 $448.83 up front $448.83/mo including taxes I was not happy with the fact that they couldn't give me an itemized breakdown of the numbers. Given the numbers you posted, the monthly should be closer to $399, which is what I was looking to pay. I still have two months left on my current lease, so I can wait. I contacted Mini Financial directly to see if I can order a Mini to my specifications, without going through a dealer. We'll see what they have to say.

I got an email from my MF saying that my car is ready for pickup in So Cal. I have a dilemma in that I'm stuck in Northern California for work until the 3rd. My MA is telling me that I have to sign the contracts by the end of the month. I could do that via faxing, etc., but I really think I should see the car before I sign for it. Additionally, I'd love your input, do you guys think that there will be much of a change in interest rates for October, since it is the first time the 1/2 point cut will affect BMW Financial or other Lenders? If it will, then waiting until the 1st to pick it up would be worth it. What can/should I do??? |

I feel very conflicted about my desire to purchase a 2008 Cooper S Convertible. I have done two test drives, love the car but cannot get over the lack of support from the manufacturer. Moreover, as reported by other folks, the salesperson seemed very indifferent about the entire sale. He said: no deduction off of MSRP (only Mini dealer for 300 mile radius), standard money factor w/tax 448 per mo X 36  15K per year. I know this is not apples to apples, but we are in Acura territory here. It just seems like a lot of money when I was quoted $319 on a G6 w/GMS. Do any of my fellow Mini dreamers have advice?

Replying to: ke72spn (Oct 03, 2007 10:32 am) 2. You can't really compare a mini to a G6. That's an apples to pork chop comparison. If you're not sure, don't buy a car. Don't buy a car for price and never buy a car you're not totally into. AFAIK, the 2008 Cooper Convertible is still the old body style. I believe the 2009s will be R56s. Maybe some can confirm this? If it's supercharged, it's an old style. Turbo = new Mini.

I was just wondering if the residuals and money factors on 2007s have changed at all. Specifically I'm looking to lease a convertible for 24, 30, or 36 months with 12,000 miles/year. I'm considering both the S and base models. I'm probably going to be leasing within the next few days, so any info would be most appreciated.
