Cooper Quality?

Written by: klezmer41 on Jul 12, 2009 03:49 PM

This JDP report shows that MINI isn't great in initial quality. So I'm wondering if there has been a decrease in quality. Does the 2007 or 2008 have higher quality than the 2009? Motoringfile post Read More...

Re: Updated data (June) on 2009 Mini [kyfdx]

Written by: Car_man on Jun 17, 2009 02:49 AM

Hey kyfdx. Here's the info that you're looking for. Mini's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Mini Cooper S .00230 and 64%, respectively. That's a pretty solid lease program for a car that traditionally has not had any lease support available on it. Thinking about getting one? Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & ... Read More...

Hi slhouse1. Mini is actually running a special lease program on the Cooper Hardtop in June. This is the first time that I recall seeing it provide lease support. Its residual values are incredible (totally unrealistic). If I was in the market for a Cooper, I definitely would lease it. Mini's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month ... Read More...

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 ...

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 ...
