Confirmed my spec

Went into MINI on Saturday, and confirmed the spec and finance for my new Cooper

The list isn't really in any order, just what it is on the spec sheet

Solid Black with White Roof
CHILI Pack
17" S Spokes
Cloth/Leather Octagon Black
ASC+T
Sports Suspension +
MFSW
Alarm
Heated Washer jets & Mirrors
White Bonnet Stripes
Chrome Line Interior
Vis Pack
Anthracite Roof Lining
Sunroof
Tinted Windows (fronts to be done after delivery)
Alloy Patina Trim
Xenon's
Air conditioning manual


I broke any budget I ever set myself, but hey, I think i've specced everything without going ridiculously over the top (i hope )

All I have to do now is wait until 4th September for delivery

Yeah no problem. It's a MINI select package they do.

It works out how much the final payment will be using options on the car, hence a/c & CHILI pack makes it better

Managed to finance it over 2 years, trouble is it's a huge balloon at the end, but I only plan to keep it for 2 years anyway, so the value of the car should still be high

I think it was about 10% APR, which is high but i can't afford to borrow the money outright so this works out the best.

Yeah I know, but I like tinted windows, and it looks like a van without the front one tinted as well

Thanks, I very nearly went for Astro Black as well, but decided to save the £250, and put it towards a couple more toys

Here's to September arriving very quickly!

To be honest, I wasn't planning to go for a/c, but when i was working out the finance it was an extra £5 per month and no extra on the final payment, brilliant

Unlucky about the wheel, so frustrating when you do that
