70% with 10k/year (assuming S model).......even then, let's do some math:

LOW end MSRP of $21,950.....we'll even use that as the adjusted cap cost (assuming you coverd other fees etc at drive off)

Residual is $15,365
Best Case Scenario MF is .00229

21950-15365=6585 Divided by 36 months it's about $182.92
Then add rental charge @ .00229 21950+15365=37315 x .00229=$85.45

So BEST CASE SCENARIO the payment currently on an S (assuming no other dealer charges, tax, registration, MACO, dealer markup, etc) you'd be paying around $268................so please explain to me how you'd get to $207 again? With no money down on a 3 year Cooper S lease expect to pay mid 300's, at least.
