Florida MINI Car Dealers

This is kind of unsettling that there is no consensus for this. In addition, I have missed to specify again that I was looking for numbers for Mini Cooper S Convertible with 10k miles per year. The dealer that I contacted through Zag told me that MC S Convert. in March has a special promotion and that it has the residual of 55% and the money factor .00210 for 36 months, which otherwise was 54% and .00230. Unfortunately, these numbers give a payment of about $500 per month for a $30k car, which I find ridiculous, as the monthly lease payment for a $40k BMW 128i Convertible would be about $10-20 less. To me it appears that neither BMW nor Mini are that desperate to sell cars, which, I guess, is good for them but bad for us (buyers). Well...

Roadragee, thank you. I have already asked Car_Man on 3/12, however, he had not responded... probably on a break or alike. I assume that 10k miles would then be 57%.

Roadrage, do you know what is the money factor and residuals for 10k miles per year, both 24 and 36 months, or anything in between. Is there a web site that tells these? To me, it is amazing that the lease of a Mini Cooper S Convertible, which comes to be about $30k car, is more than BMW 128 Convertible, which comes to be about $49k car, and it is leased byu the same company!

How much is the acquisition fee? it appears that Mini is keeping a tight grip on all of the information, as I could not get it anywhere, even by searching on the web. And it appears that it takes pretty long time to even get the answers here. Am I missing something? Please, let me know.

What are the MF and residuals for Cooper S onvertible for March 2011? Are there any incentives for current BMW leasees or otherwise? How much is the acquisition fee? How long does it take for the car to arrive on east Coast if it will be ordered? Thank you in advance.
