Hello everyone, I am going to be ordering my new Mini next month and am having a hard time deciding whether or not I should go with the JCW. I want to keep the car price around $34K so that means no Nav and other goodies in the JCW. My other option is to build a MCS with all the options I want.

What would you order? Would you rather have power or options?

Thanks for the help!!

 

Car choice is a personal decision but:

Pro for the JCW
Do you plan on tracking the car?
Do you plan on keeping the car for a long time or selling it after only a year or 2. A lightly optioned car is going to have a better re-sale.

Pro for the MSC
Do you want a car that you have always dreamed about with all the bells and wistles.

 

I had a price point of $25,000, we only went over that by $3,000. So as you can see it may come down options.

If $34,000 is at the "Top" of your budget then you have to start thinking about how hard you are going to be kicking yourself afterwards. Do honestly want a Bare Bones car or do you want the options. For me it was options. We went over budget because of the Clear Bra, Tire/Wheel Warranty, things that we had to have.

Depending on your area of the country may determine those "have to have" options. We live in the PNW so Heated Seats were a must, and in WA "Hands Free' has just become an issue, so we splurged on the USB/Bluetooth and absolutely LOVE IT!!

We have no regrets about how we optioned "MS MOLY" has her new License Plate reads!!

Remember this will be the ONLY car that you will be able to option as you want "Custom Ordered". Get it as you want it!!

Good Luck!!
