I thought I read somewhere that they work Saturdays. It can't be more than 100 miles up to Stamford CT. Did your MA give you a clue when it might be ready - this week? Next? I'm expecting maybe a day or two delay at the dealer as we are having the driving lamps and a chrome lower grille fitted

 

he said possible tuesday (tom) or wednesday, but idk he has not called so i am doubtful it will be tomoorrow. im a half hour away from the city so i am really close.


cross my fingers though!!!!!!

 

I think it will be at least 1 day from when it arrives at the dealership to prep it and get it registered. Although I'm sure they are keen to get all the deliveries done by the end of the month. My MA also said they don't like to do handovers on Saturdays as they are so busy, so I'm thinking Friday or next Monday.

 

well i called my ma today, and he said now that i wont have it until friday or saturday :(


idk why it takes so long to come a half hour to the dealer. :(

 

Has anyone in week 18 taken delivery yet? I am in the midwest and my MA tells me it is going to be another 2 weeks al least! This will make it a full 8 weeks from order to delivery ( unless it takes longer)!!!

I must have ordered the "special" car that takes extra time! The worst thing about buying one of these is the wait!

 

I don't think anyone on this thread has yet. My MA is "out of the country" but the sales manager is now trying to get the numbers together. Should be at the dealer today - delivery on Saturday if the chrome grill arrives in time on Friday. If not Monday. (of course depends if I can get the check from Pentagon CU in time)

 

Stu. I am picking my car up this Friday the 30th. . . So I'm a Week 18er who is VERY close. Actually, I could have picked mine up anytime starting today, but Friday is my first possible day due to the logistics of selling my old car.

I'm in Maryland, but my ship came in several days before yours.

 

Excellent! We got hold of the sales manager (who was very helpful) - looks like we are on for Saturday if the money comes in time

 

I take that back, the Oxygen Blue Mini that was just delivered is someone else's. They are trying to get it on a truck for tomorrow. I'm thinking next week now.

 

I think that all of the cars on the east coast for week 18 will be ready within the next week or so. As for the midwest buyers, I think we have a few more weeks to wait it out. Unless they put it on a plane, it takes a while to drive here!

The question is WHO will be the first one for week 18? Remember pictures!!!

 

Good question. That said you may win the prize for longest wait, I dont think we ordered until April 26th...although I would have to check that to be sure...

 

hey everyone, well seems as though i called my MA and i will be picking up my mini at .6.45 tomororw night!!!!!! ahhh!!!


i will be post pics hopefully tomorrow night!

 

Good job - looking forward to the pics

 

**UPDATE**

Picking up tomorrow morning. It's having the lamps and grille fitted now.

 

Mine has arrived and is being prepped as well. Probably will pick it up Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks for all the Week 18 support!

 

Be sure to post a picture. I'll charge up my camera tonight

Here she is almost ready for me to pickup in Nashville.

 

Very nice! Well, I'm making coffee and getting ready to go to the dealer. Speak to y'all later....

 

Nice car! I'm more anxious than ever! I have been waiting since April 11th to be in picking up a car. It looks like I have another 2 weeks!

 

Here it is. Turns out my MA had a family emergency hence him being out of the country. However, the manager did the handover. Can't recommend MINI of Fairfield enough

 

My car has landed on U.S. soil ( according to MINIUSA)

How much longer until it gets to the dealer? Any input? I have been waiting since April 11 and I don't know how much longer I can wait without going crazy! I am fueling a massive SUV for everyday driving and it is running me broke! (and I want my new car too)

 

^ I believe our Mini arrived on the Thursday, it was at the dealer the following Thursday...so seven days, but there was a long weekend in there also. It should only take a day to prep the car.

Try and get ahold of your MA - he/she should have the most upto date information

 

Congratulations to all of the week 18 new mini owners. Unfortunately mine had to stay at the dealer for an extra week because of a bad alternator. As soon as I drove off the lot last Friday, the battery malfunction light came on. Well, just few more days before I have my mini for good.

 

I am guessing it will be at least a week as I am located in the midwest and you are on the east coast.

If I anticipate 2 weeks from now, I may be surprised by an early delivery!!!! I wish it was sooner but good things are worth the wait.
