Hi all.

My Grandparents have decided they fancy a Mini on Motability (as they are eligible and need a new car)

They visited a Dealer today and were offered a 'Pre ordered but cancelled car' that someone ordered but couldn't pay for.

It's a Mini one in 'Hot Chocolate' with the Auto box, and the 'pepper pack' apart from that it's a normal One.

They've been offered it for £1000 deposit (normal deposit for a One is Nil, the auto box is supposedly £1000 option and the pepper pack is £1295??)

Just want to see if this is a good deal? Sounds pretty tidy and it's the car/colour my Nan really wants biggrin

Thanks all.

Sounds like a good deal to me, there are usually no 'deals' to be had on motability, so I would suggest going for it.

If they need an Auto box (£1210) then go for it. The Pepper pack adds desirable features like climate and alloys plus several cosmetic changes to add some sparkle to the Hot Chocolate. Should be around £16K using the MINI configurator with similar options.
Cruise would be on the multi-function steering wheel.
If they need to regularly get a wheelchair/bicycle into the boot then there's a load liner that hooks to the front headrests and includes a flap to cover the rear bumper while loading.
