Latest Deals on 2009 Mini Cooper with Auto

Written by: osu18 on May 04, 2009 10:43 AM

I'm interested in any feedback on recent deals on the 2009 MC Base with auto. Seems from what I read here that max discount is around $500 to $600 with sales still declining for Mini and BMW I want to double check on this as there are not many posting on the subject. I'm in the South East Market (Charlotte), I have only one dealer nearby Hendrick's which I really hate ... Read More...

Re: 2009 Cooper S Convertible Money Factor [dslucki]

Written by: Car_man on May 01, 2009 03:06 AM

Hi dslucki. BMW's April buy rate lease money factor for the 2009 Mini Cooper S Convertible was right around the .00240 that you were quoted. I say right around because it varies by region, but the factor that you were quoted is very similar to the ones that I have seen. BMW's April residual value for a 36 month, 15,000 mile per year lease of this car was 59%. This lease ... Read More...

To restart sales, Mini turns to incentives April 20, 2009 - 12:01 am ET With sales plunging for the first time, Mini USA has violated its no-incentive rule for the past few months with a low-interest financing offer that the brand continues to sweeten. BMW AG's premium small-car brand lowered its incentive to 1.9 percent for 36 months through this month. And starting ... Read More...

Maybe she meant a mini netbook computer. MINI just introduced redesigned convertibles this week, including a new Cooper Works edition. Haven't seen any news of stopping production. 2009 Mini John Cooper Works Convertible: On Sale March 28 Read More...

Acquisition Fees and MF

Written by: jvost on Feb 15, 2009 08:23 AM

Hi - Can anyone out there confirm BMWFS's acquisition fees for a Mini Cooper lease?

Also, can anyone confirm what the buy rate for the MF is for February? According the following website the factor ... Read More...

Hi toky. On most vehicles, consumers who shop around are able to find a dealer that will charge them the dealer buy rate on leases...particularly in today's difficult retail environment. The money factors for all Mini models are exactly the same. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Read More...

Re: 2009 Mini Cooper Lease [Car_man]

Written by: toky on Jan 21, 2009 00:18 PM

The dealership was giving a hard time going lower than 0.0029 MF. Credit score is 770. They started at MF of 0.0031 and came down to 0.0029. I think he said something about the dealer buys the money at 0.0025. Doc fees of $395 and registration fee of $200. Would the MF be different for Cooper S rather than a non-S? And if so, what should it be for a Cooper S? Read More...
