Advice wanted on new mini cooper purchase please
 
Hi,
My wife is going to be buying a new mini cooper in pepper white with the Chili pack, and we have a few questions and wondered if anyone would be able to help?
First of all what price should we be paying as what car confuses matters. According to the mini brochure the OTR price is £13715, and the chili pack £1995, making a grand total of £15710.
However, what car says the OTR price for the 1.6 cooper (chili pack) is £15035, but the target price (ie price you should be able to get them down to) is £14890. Is this realistic or pie on the sky?
Secondly, my wife likes the cream/white and black interior but is concerned that the cream will look old and dirty in no time at all. Does anyone have this, and if so is this the case, or does it still look good?
Thirdly she is a little undecided on the wheels as we haven't seen them all in the 'flesh' so to speak. The ones she is deciding between are the 16" Bridge spoke, 17" Flame spoke, and 17" Crown spoke. Is it possible to post any pictures of your minis with these wheels on please.
Many thanks in advance, Toby
