offer sheet: signing tomorrow, need a sanity check!: by isaacyho on Tue Jun 23 17:13:59 PDT 2009; Hi all-- I'm very excited to be purchasing my first MINI, tomorrow at 5:30pm PST! I jumped on a silver hardtop, base, manual with a few nice options ( multi-function steering, ipod/bluetooth, spoiler ). But before I sign, I wanted to run it by you wise folks ( I've read this thread and you guys obviously know your stuff ) to see if they were trying to sneak any charges in last-minute. For my feature set, Edmunds lists the MSRP as $20,700 + $650 destination charge = $21,350 I talked the dealer down ( in writing ) to $20,300 *including* destination charge. I decided to lease based on the terms of the June lease special. Here are the terms the dealer sent me: Msrp $20,700 ( correct, destination charge doesn't count as part of the residual calculation ) Total mileage :36,000 Residual % 70.00% Residual value $14,490.00 Initial cap cost $20,300 ( car price + destination ) Bank fee $925 ( same as jadynsdad ) Lmf: 0.00230 ( same as jadynsdad ) Total tax $900.55 ( I live in CA ) Base monthly payment $268.41 (??? - this is higher than $249/mo advertised, even with same money down and lower MSRP ) Monthly tax $24.83 base on 9.25% Total monthly $293.24 Doc fee $52.00 Security deposit $300 License $320 Drive off: First payment $293.24 Security 300.00 License 320.00 __________ $913.24 *Summary* So, $913.24 drive off, $293.24/month all-inclusive for 3 yr/12K per. My 3 questions: a) how can my base monthly payment, before taxes, be higher than the special of $249/mo? My car is worth less than the $21.7K car listed in the special. Is it because they rolled the bank fee into the monthly payment? b) The destination charge isn't listed---I assume they are doing what I asked, and rolling into the "Intial Cap cost" of $20,300? c) is this a good deal? Thanks so much for any insight you can offer! Isaac

Re: Mini Cooper Lease (Princeton, NJ) [jupiter475]: by jadynsdad on Sun Jun 21 18:23:16 PDT 2009; I just got the June special on a Clubman S. I'm in So. Cal so keep that in mind. MSRP 29,450 Price paid: 28,650 Money Factor 0.0023 (same for everyone, approx 5.5% apr) Residual 66% (this is for Clubman S, residuals are even higher on the reg. hardtop in June) Bank Fees $925 (no way around this) Cap Reduction $1514 (this is whatever you want it to be) Total Drive Off $2500 (incl. cap reduction, first mos pmt, CA lisc, and related taxes) Pmt before sales tax $349 Miles 12k/yr Hope this is helpful. Pretty good deal if you can keep the miles under 12k. All of the finance deals at Mini are good right now. Hard to go wrong - depends on your situation on lease vs. buy.

Re: 2009 Cooper S Convertible Money Factor [Car_man]: by dslucki on Mon May 04 07:38:02 PDT 2009; Car_Man - thanks for the info. I am in Southern California if that makes a difference on the numbers. Do you see any changes to the residual and money factor for May? Thanks!

2009 Cooper S Convertible Money Factor: by dslucki on Wed Apr 29 14:23:30 PDT 2009; Car_Man - I am interested in the buy rate money factor for April on a Cooper S Convertible. I've been quoted .0024. Also, would you advise someone to pay a security deposit and an acquisition fee to lower the money factor? Thanks in advance.

Re: buying a MINI [louiseamber] (California): by tcls on Sun Mar 01 10:05:22 PST 2009; We bought our Mini Cooper S from Brecht Mini in Escondido, CA, yesterday (2009/2/28). Cooper S hardtop ($21,950 MSRP, same below) on the lot, T6 gravity leather (not leatherette) seats ($1,500), 205 auto ($1,500), 6ND iPod/Bluetooth adapter ($500), California destination charge ($650) for a total of $25,850. Paid $24,742, which is $1108 off MSRP. This price includes the dealer's paint protector (Perma Plate), window tinting, and the de-activated LoJack. Floor mats were not. End of the month timing and the fact that we did not use the financing program (4.9%) that will end on March 31 might have helped the negotiation. Initial prices for the dealer items were: Paint protector: $800. Window tinting: $500. Floor Mats: $110. LoJack: $900. When the deal was done, the finance person tried again to sell LoJack for $700 and then $400. TWZ

Re: buying a MINI [krager]: by louiseamber on Sun Feb 22 10:40:49 PST 2009; I've been following this forum for awhile, as I'm going to lease a new Mini next month, and the best I've heard is $1000 off MSRP. If the dealer didn't bat an eye - can I ask where you're located? Fingers crossed you're somewhere in CA so I can use the dealer too! Either way, if the dealer was okay, I'd either ask for more off, or for something else to be thrown in complimentary, like floor mats are something.
