It depends on how much you want that specific colour. If I was in your position I would most probably wait to get the colour that I want, because it makes a big difference to me.

Is that a good price? Considering that we use different currencies, I dont know if that's a good price or not. If the price was really good I would consider taking the car against my colour preference for that reason, but unless it was very well priced, I think I would wait till I got hold of the colour I wanted.

Another thing is that if I really didn't like the colour it was available in, I wouldn't take it under any circumstances. You have to enjoy looking at your car, and feel good in it. If you don't, you'll hardly enjoy it.

Just my opinion on the matter.
Good luck :>

Yes, I know you are right...I'm just worried I'm looking for something unobtainable and out of my budget!!

it's this many Rand - 158,253.43. If that helps.....23,815.41 USD

Anyway...I'll have a sleep on it and see what I think on the morning when I see it again! Thanks for your reply...congrats on your 100th post!

Don't buy unless you're 100% sure you like the colour otherwise you'll spend the time looking longingly at other Coopers in the 'right' colour.
I knew the colour I wanted and anything else just would not have been the same. Black eye purple.

Wait - the right ine will come along.
Welcome by the way

I don't NOT like Astro Black...I just like PW more...

Altho to be honest, three weeks ago I wanted a yellow one. Since I've seen the PW I prefer that.

Thing is...the astro black sounds like you are getting alot for your money (what does anyone think?)...and I am on a budget. It's the drive experience I want it for....so does the colour really matter?

Oh this is just too difficult!

Thanks PixiePea

Deciding on a final colour was the hardest thing when I ordered my MCS. So for the most part, I understand what you're going through.

I think that your idea to sleep on it and see what you think on the morning you see it again is a good idea. Sometimes not thinking about it too much makes it easier to decide in the end.

Let us know how it goes

Well, This morning we went to see the car again...having had another look at the newest model, both interior and exterior I decided that it was a good improvement on the older model. Anyway...then we took it for a drive.
Fabulous! I was so excited and decided that because it had everything we wanted on it and the colour was nice...I'd go for it. So I've put a deposit down and am going tomorrow to sort out finance etc...should have it a couple of days later!

Have searched aound alot and not many PW, certainly not with mods I like for my budget...so...went for this....next time I'll have PW.....or one of the newer colours!!!

Thanks for all your advice...pix up soon!
