When deciding which optional extras to tick, bear in mind that the best deal new MINI isn't necessarily the model with lots of extras (despite what many new MINI dealers try to tell you). The fact is that most new MINIs lose money faster on the optional extras than on the MINI itself - so the extras you choose (even at the new MINI best price) doesn't necessarily offer the best value. When it comes to ex-demo MINIs or ready-built showroom new MINIs for sale at a main dealer, the specification has already been fixed and cannot be changed; so if you need a new MINI from stock, be spec-flexible. New MINI dealers tend to pre order stock they can sell easily - typically Silver, Grey or Black MINIs with few or no options at all. The best discount new MINIs are normally specified like that - ie popular colours with few options. Car finance is another consideration when choosing to pay extra for optional equipment. If you buy a new MINI on the best PCP deal or MINI leasing / contract hire package you can find, the options may ruin your saving; this is because handing the MINI back at the end loses the FULL value of the extra equipment you paid for. To avoid this potential loss, you have three possibilities: 1) select a higher MINI trim level ie Sport over an S; 2) don't order expensive options; 3) buy your new MINI on HP or with a personal loan (where you always own the MINI and the optional extras).
