2010 Camden package mini by murphy39
Jan 08, 2010 (5:40 pm)

Car Man (or others),
 
Here is a direct quotation from an area dealer: ran the $25500 Cambden at 36months, $498. 42 months, $477. 48 months, $455. All with current rates, 10k mile lease setups for a DC resident.
 
Are these the horse poop they appear to be? This is for a 2010 Mini HT (not an S). The dealers numbers are under the assumption that I am putting zero money down, which I have learned from this forum is what I should be shooting for.
 
Thanks for your help.

Wow Car_man you are definitely knowledgable about the MINI. Perhaps you can help clear something up for me... Is Jeffrey12341 correct that the MINI is not at all reliable? I was thinking exactly what Jeff was that I should lease instead of finance especially since I want a MINI convertible and the motor on the top can go very easily. Typically that's what goes in convertibles in general... what do you think? Pls help.

BMW FS Credit Standards for Lease Transfer by wab3
Feb 04, 2010 (1:19 pm)

Does BMW Financial Services apply their new-car lease standards and process to lease transfers? I'd like to get a 2nd gen. Cooper S, and for various reasons (one of them being technically poor credit), taking over the last year or two of a lease for a 2008 or 2009 makes sense for me right now.
 
Shopping the lease-trade websites, the lease payments for such a car would be well within my means. I could afford to put down 6-9 lease payments up front on a lease with 18-24 months remaining on the term. But any financing agency evaluating my credit rating just by the score is going to reject me. Does BMW FS just plug the numbers into a rules 'bot for credit evals or is there a way to get the application reviewed by an approval officer?
 
In a sane world a lessor about to get stuck with a depreciated lease-return would at least look twice at someone willing to pay a third of the remaining lease up front, but dealing with credit agencies is anything but sane.

The person leasing the new car could possibly still get a deal with marginal credit, as the dealership may be going to bat for them, as they have a financial interest in getting the deal done.. It is in BMWFS interest to help the dealers sell new MINIs...
 
The bank (BMWFS) has no such interest, once the deal is completed. If anything, they will be more stringent on a lease assumption.

2010 cooper hatchback lease price by eminded26

Hi there,
 
Before I go into a dealership and start working into this, is it possible for somebody to tell me what to expect as a lease price on something like this?
 
2010 Cooper Hatchback - Base w/automatic transmission ($21,000)
10,000 miles per year, 36 month lease term
 
0-down, all taxes and fees rolled into payment.
Just make first month's payment when picking up.
 
Any ball-park price somebody could give me would help when going in to negotiate on one of these... just so I know what to expect.
 
Thanks!

I am shopping around for a Cooper S lease and dealers are telling me the residual is currently 53% for 3 years and 12k miles a year. This seems way lower than most people on this forum were getting last year. Anyone know why? Could this fluctuate in the coming months?
