When I bought my Atom I was told that I could get it N/A and add the supercharger on later at the same price as if new
I didn't, I went with it straight away, but I'm sure many have thought/been told that. And it'll be right.Having recently bought a 2nd hand Nomad and wanted to add a few things on, I learned that the principle doesn't apply to all things. For example, a mechanical handbrake (because you have the Alcon rears) may have appeared on the Atom options list at circa £720 (in 2014), but once you add in 6 hours labour, it's a bit more pricey. There'll be a reason for that, like for example the coolant pipes are in the way, whereas when being fitted new, they won't be, similarly running brake lines less being less fun when there are seats, engines and the like in place.
It's not the same for all options, some of them added next to no labour or with labour are priced about the same as you'd have seen on a price list.
My point above, really isn't about the prices themselves for any given thing. Nor is it to say that you can't add options later... you clearly can, and that is bloomin' awesome
No really. You try that with a mainstream car... take it back to VW's factory and ask them to change out the trim. More this is to warn/let you consider that unless you've pre-agreed it, or it was stated as such, it's not always the case that adding something later is as cheap as it appeared on the original price list.
