New Buyer

[brandonbardsley]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of ordering my new car within the next few months but can't decide what the best options would be to have on it, I know for a fact I'd like Harman/Kardon and Xenon Headlights but other than that I'm not quite sure what to add to the car.

The model I will be ordering will be a 114i Sport, simply due to insurance premiums as I've only a years no claims and been driving for just over a year. I have a limit of £22K due to the fact I don't want to pay much more than £300 a month with a decent deposit, do you have any suggestions of which options I should be selecting for my car?

Cheers,

Brandon.

You'll be driving this car for a few years at least (I guess), until you'll be able to buy something with a more powerful engine, so pick a level of equipment you'll want live with during that time. I would pick the following for the 114i:

— Sport package (better wheels, body kit and other bits);
— Upgrade interior to Black Dakota Leather with Red Stitching (better resale value, if you'll care about the leather properly);

— HK sound system (you said you want it);
— Driver comfort package (you'll drive the car, so you better enjoy the drive!);

— Interior comfort package (auto air conditioning, more storage and better lighting);

— Xenon package (better resale value, good looks and all);

This will set you back around £23k, but I think it's worth to put a bit more. After all, I'll say this again, you'll drive the car for at least a few years probably, so you may want to have something decently equipped.

I hope my suggestions will be useful! ;-)
