Hi, I am looking at a 2009 mini cooper s convertible with an MSRP of 33,800. I got an email from the sales guy today telling me that the residual on a 36 months, 10K/yr lease is 20618 - which calculates to 61% (20618/33800). He then tells me that the money factor is .00335 and the "payment all inclusive" is $638 with $1000 down but I don't have any other info about what ... Read More...

2007 with low mileage or new?

Written by: mymini on Jun 09, 2009 07:45 AM

Love the MINI - but agonizing over which to buy: 2007 mini cooper s convertible with auto, heated seats, CHILI RED, but cloth seats with just 3k miles (checked carfax no problems) for $24.9 OR 2009 mini cooper s convertible with auto, heated seats, PEPPER WHITE which looks a little blah, though adding stripes... and a few other options I don't really want, leatherette ...

car_man & kyfdx: Looking for June buy rate money lease factor for a 2009 Mini Cooper Hardtop Base with MSRP = $20,450 (Auto) 36 mos/12K miles and corresponding residual value. From your previous posts, it appears these little cars hold their value pretty well, but assume it has dropped since the previous quotes of 68-69%. In Illinois, would be looking for zero ...

2009 Mini Cooper Lease vs. Purchase

Written by: ufjen34 on Jun 02, 2009 05:05 AM

I am planning to visit a couple of mini cooper dealerships this weekend. I have always been opposed to leasing because I would be obsessed with making sure I was within the mileage limits. However, I have decided to keep my current car and get the mini as a second car, making the mileage limits a non-issue. A collegue is strongly pushing a lease, but I really know nothing ...

Re: 2009 Cooper S Convertible Money Factor [dslucki]

Written by: Car_man on May 28, 2009 02:42 AM

No problem, dslucki. Mini's May lease program is slightly worse than its April program was. I believe that in most areas its buy rate lease money factor is .00010 higher this month. Its residual value for the terms that I mentioned previously is 1% lower. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Read More...

black trim

Written by: krager on May 08, 2009 06:48 PM

The black trim around the top of my new(less than 2 months) Cooper is lightening up in spots. There is probably a 6 inch strip on one side and almost that much on the other. Any suggestions as to how to treat this trim. I am really disgusted that this is already happening. My 2002 Honda's trim looks better than my 2009 Mini Cooper. I'm not sure the Mini Cooper is all it's ... Read More...

OSU18, You might check the Indy dealer. I bought my 2009 Clubman there in January. Cannot say what kind of a deal you'd get today, but the salesman was very patient, letting take three different cars for test drives. He was pretty good at listening to us and was certainly not pushing us as some sales people do. Urging? Maybe but no hard sell. My only complaint is the ... Read More...

I was looking to buy a Clubman S, but have not found just want I want. The Cincinnati dealer had almost 60 new units in stock, but won't budge on MSRP. Too bad, because there are a couple that would work for me. I won't go back there. Very arrogant attitude in my opinion. And I'm a cash buyer, w/ no trade. Unbelievable. I have seen some dealers willing to go $1500 off MSRP ... Read More...
