If I was in the market for a base Mini Cooper right now I personally would shoot for a dealer discount of around $1,000. BMW's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Mini Cooper with 12,000 miles per year should be around .00240 ... Read More...

Hi mgm11937. I believe that BMW's money factors for Mini vary by region. They should generally be around .00230 to .00280 though. Its residual values fore Mini are the same nationwide. The 36 month, 15,000 mile peer year residual value for a 2009 Mini Cooper S Hatchback is currently 64%. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Read More...

J. Please help me understand this downpayment thing. Banks are pay interest next to zero these dates. MF 0025 is 6% APR. If I don't carry any debt and have decent saving in the bank. Any reason why shouldn't I go for it? Thank you for your time. :D Read More...
