Went to look at minis on my birthday, knowing I couldn't afford even a mini one. Ended up ordering a new cooper there and then. Because of the tight budget I kept the spec to the minimum: standard car, astro black, 16 inch 5-star alloys, 3-spoke steering wheel and mats. Sensible decision?
Impulse buy - done the right thing?

welcome to mini2.com as well.
If you're really on tight budget, I won't suggest any further options - because it will never end!
Astro black is a great colour.
congrats on the order

Yeah you did the right thing mate, if can e afford it after a few months, sell it and you will make money
I did a similar thing myself ended up ordering a MSC + chill, climate, full leather and so on.....
Once you've looked at the options is never ending.....
You only live once though mate
Seize the Day and all that!!!!

It'll be the best birthday present ever! Astro black looks the biz in real life to, you made the right decision mate. You can always add a few more bits after you get it anyway. I just love tearing round in mine it just seems to get better the more I drive it. Here's a pic of mine in astro black.
Oh and by the way I just said to the missus one day I'm getting a new mini and went and ordered it, try not to think about the money too much, think more of it in terms of how much pleasure it gives you, you might get hit by a bus tomorrow.

absolutely the right decision
I bought after a 10 minute test drive. Picked it up today. It is better than I remembered. These cars are really tiny on US roads, but they don't feel or drive that way.
You will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NIce choice Astro Black is a nice colour
Wish i had the guts to just go and buy one
Just one question though if you went in knowing you couldnt afford a ONE how are you going to afford the COOPER?

if you went in knowing you couldnt afford a ONE how are you going to afford the COOPER? I thought you needed a good spec Mini to be able to sell it for a good price? I couldn't imagine getting a car without air con or a CD player these days..
I know the new car experience is great but i think going second hand would be a better choice.
If you want a facelift look just buy the new bumpers as and when you can afford them!

Never buy a car / add on extras just for resale value.... everyone always goes on about that!
I have just part-ex my cooper, no air-con, and got a very good price, so get what u want / what u can afford and it will still hold value well.
just my thoughts....am sure others will disagree!
