Unfrotunately I am not in the position to own a second hand car to drive let alone buy a new one. But I just love playing the options list game, here's how it works:

1. Go to a car manufacture's website

2. Choose a car (The highest increases tend to be from the smallest engine models, Mini one, Fiat 500 1.2 etc.)

3. Spec the most expensive options and also the most whacky interior colour combinations and appearances (Be careful, some options cancel out others but always choose the most expensive.)

4. Post your findings on this forum and also try to work out the percentage increase of the final cost if you are handy.


I'll start the ball rolling at 50% extra, here's what I went for:

Audi A3
SE 1.2 TFSI 6 speed
RRP:
23,520.00 GBP
ROTR Price:
24,275.00 GBP
Basic RRP: 16,220.00 GBP
Equipment 7,300.00 GBP

I don't think that will be hard to beat if I'm honest but good luck!!!!

I can't believe I actually did this, maybe it's just a way of procrastinating work this morning but here goes.

Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe
Base Price: $77,800
Destination Charge: $950
Price for Equipment: $50, 710

So roughly 65.4% excluding destination charge.

Ouch! Porsche seems to be the king of the options lists. For some reason it would not let me configure a porsche

Alfa Romeo 8C spider.
An Alfa V8 needs no options.

There's more!

Boxter
Base Price: $47,600
Destination Charge: $950
Price for Equipment: $49,085

So I think that's a healthy 103% options list.

Youch!!! Top Gear magazine were able to get 107% out of a mini one (the base model) That's where I got the percentage idea from.

wow, $25K for the base charger when I got her new w/o mods...
