This is what I got at a dealer:
Mini
MSRP: 30150
MF: .00024583 (0.59%)
RV: 59%
Cap Cost: I forgot to ask for Cap cost.
Acquisition: None
Disposition: None
Monthly: $399
Tax, title, fees, etc. all rolled in.
Only first months payment due at signing.
Compared to the Mazda3 I looked at, the Mini seems to be a better deal.
MSRP: 29515
MF: .00008 (.19%)
RV: 53%
Cap Cost:28202
CC Reduction: 963(discount)+350(rebate)=1313
Acquisition: None
Disposition: None
Taxes: 1731
Doc Fee: 299
Non-Tax Fees: 279
Monthly:446
It doesn't appear that the MINI dealer gave you much detail. No selling price or CAP cost. There are definitely acquisition and disposition fees with the lease. And, the money factor is wrong, and the residual quoted is for 10K/yr, not 12K/yr.
It's possible that it's a better lease deal, but be careful when you get in there.

Here is the quote I received from the dealer.
"The MSRP of the car is $26,460.00.
We will sell the car to you at $25,130.00.
You are correct about the $500 option credit and $250 lease credit good
through Wednesday.
With the above cirtieria and with $800 out of pocket (first month payment,
license reg and doc. fee), your payments O.A.C. for a 36 month lease with
12k/yr will be $384.50 including tax."
I'm having trouble figuring out if the above reflects a .00129 MF and 58% residual per your message above.
What state is this and what is the tax rate?
Dealer is allowed to mark up the MF for more profit. And, confirm what the net cap cost is; there might be some fees added in there that is inflating the payment.

"the selling price is $25,130 using the $500
option credit which is our invoice. The money factor at .00129 requires
that you pay $925.00 acquisition fee. The better approach would be to
waive the acq. fee and do the rate at .00179 (would come to about $10 less
in payments).
The payments using that money factor (tier 1 credit) will bring your
payments to $336 before tax or $366.xx including tax."
Run the numbers both ways yourself and see which makes the most sense. Some people want to minimize their out of pocket costs, others want the low MF.

When the acquisition fee used to be $625, you could waive the fee for .00035 bump. I guess the bump is higher, now that the acquisition fee is higher. (though I can't verify that).
I agree with the dealer... should save you $7-$10/mo. by waiving it.

2015 MC 2 dr base currently priced at $26,310 (already dealer discounted $875)
They have an advertised offer for their remaining 2 dr MC of $179/40mo and $4,000 down with no other details and the man I talked to on the phone seemed unintelligible to explain this offer and could not answer my simple question of if their normal leases work with 30,000 miles for 36month then exactly how were they handling the miles for 40 months and what the difference would be for say 10k a year vs 12k or 15K a year.
Even in emails he refuses to answer my questions and just wants me to come in. It is quite frustrating and I've chalked it up to either he is that new and is buying time to learn what he needs to know or he doesn't want to have the information I'm asking for so that I can be an informed buyer. When I first asked and referred to the $4000 down and to which models they had on the floor and to which did that apply he quoted me an even higher price of $7,000 down! Then stating that the money down was all based off of which model and features I chose as if that wasn't the very question I had asked. If anything I'm getting a million red flags and feel like walking away. As the only mini dealer in NE I have little option but to put up with their shady ways and just try to call them out on it.
Back to my question as I'm glad I found your forum hoping you'll be more helpful than the "new guy".
What can I or should I expect for the 2015 MC 2 dr that I listed above if preferring to go no money down though I will be returning my 2011 MC 2 dr base with 49K on it to do this deal as I don't need two of them, or what max money down should I perhaps go for?
Then on the other side of the spectrum which I didn't trouble our "friend" over. If I wanted a custom 2016 MC base 4 dr according to the mini usa site should sit around $27,000 or just under, what would be the leasing deals to look for there?
please list options with 10k, 12k & 15k
and explain why a 40 month offer would be being offered vs just the normal 36 month offer
I understand that the dealer can mess with the MF but some of these other numbers just don't seem right to me.
Thank you so much for your time and understanding.
As to the 40 month lease term, sometimes manufacturers advertise odd length terms just for the heck of it. I've seen 27, 33, and 42 month terms with more support than the traditional 24 and 36 month terms.
Regarding the miles, simply divide the number of miles by the lease term - for example, a 36 month, 12,000 mile per year lease is 1000 miles per month. For 40 months, you'd get 40,000 miles.
36/10 - 833 miles per month
36/15 - 1250 miles per month
Regarding start up costs on a lease, you normally have the first payment, the dealer fee, the bank fee ($925) and any state mandated tax or license costs.
If you plan to trade in your 2011 MINI, have the dealer cut you a check for any equity - do not use it as "down payment". If the new car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.

2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R / 2014 MINI Countryman S ALL4
Vehicle marked down to $24,075.00.
$26,561.00 looks like net cap cost after paying off current car and all tax title and fees.
About 700 credit score .00153 MF
Payment is $358/month. Asking for first payment + like 20 dollars additional at singing? Not sure what the $20.00 is about.
Does this look like a good deal? On the lease calculator on edmunds I'm getting about 345.00 not sure where the difference is coming from. Residual? I factored at 61%.
Appreciate any and all help
Base MF is .00113; dealer is marking that up on you.

1) Is there a significant difference in driving experience between the the two trims - one that could add up be a big difference over time? Most online reviews suggest the extra price for the S is not worth it, for the bit of extra power. I was only able to drive the S which I loved. But I would need to drive to a distant dealer to test the Base.
2) What is the MF, Residual for the Base and the S for November 2015 for California? And what are the current incentives / rebates?
I got an "initial indicative quote" from a nearby dealer for a 2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop 4 door S with an MSRP of $29,950, which they reduced by a $1,500 "Autonation rebate". Resulting in 2,500 down, $401/month quote including tax. 0.0012 MF and 57% residual.
This seemed high to me, as a BMW dealer quoted the same monthly price albeit with $4,500 down for a 2016 328i with an MSRP of 41K.
A dealer 50 miles away in SF seems to be offering $3000 off MSRP in rebates / discount. Not sure if that's a discount on MSRP, or just incentives from the manufacturer.
3) Does it make sense to wait for December to do the deal, as that is traditionally the best time for car leases?
4) I definitely want a rear view camera, but I do not want leather seats. Premium audio and Nav are nice to have. How do I search for cars that meet these requirements (i.e. what packages / options), as I can't seem to find ways to down-select cars with these features on the Mini dealer inventory listings online.
Thanks, and sorry for the really long post. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
2015:
Base 4-door: .00129 MF and 56% residual.
S 4-door: .00114 MF and 57% residual
There is $1500 customer cash from MINI on either model. So, if that's the only discount you are getting from MSRP, they are basically quoting full MSRP on an outgoing 2015 model. I'd want a better deal than that.
I haven't driven a new MINI, so I can't comment on features, etc.
