Questions Re: 2013 1.6 3Dr Mini One Pepper Pack

Hi forum :)

I recently purchase a 2013 1.6 3dr Mini One Pepper Pack in Pepper White.

I am thrilled with my car, however in the aftermath of the sell I feel a little like the dealer might have taken advantage.

Questions I keep asking myself;

• Is the Mini One still available or has it now been discontinued with the release of the new Hatch?
• Would the dealer be looking to sell off old models of the Hatch in the One model at end of 2013?
• What alloys and finishing come as standard with the Pepper pack?
• Were there options in the standard range (i.e. no extra cost) which I could have chosen? Should these options be presented in the sell when a customer is buying a brand new car which is being delivered from the central store and is being built for the order?
  • For example, a black roof, different alloys or other add on's for no extra cost or is there a set package within the pepper pack?
• What mark up do dealers typically apply to list price on the Mini One?

Whilst I know not much can probably be done now, I would like to satisfy the questions my brain keeps shooting at me and hopefully learn for the next time/be able to advise my mother who is also interested in purchasing a Mini.

Thanks forumers! :)

Hi Alex, and welcome to the Club. I hope there will be some folk on here who can help with your questions, although, as you admit, its a little late now. I think the lesson for your mother is take your time and do your homework before you go to the showroom. (I'm not a Mini Man, unless you count a 998 c.c. 1963 one that I paid £60 for, drove around in like a looney for 9 months and then got £50 back for as spares or repairs!)(In about 1975!) :rolleyes:
