Anyone receive their 2010 Mini yet?

Mines at the processing center in South Carolina. I will pick it up next friday and hopefully post pictures saturday. Sure would like to have a suprise Harmon Kardon stereo with my premium package but that's the price you pay when you don't want to wait.

Mines lost...at least to me. It's supposed to go through PH in Cali, but they put it on the Fedora that was never going to the west coast. My MA said a BMW rep told them they "accidently" dropped it off along with 7 others in NJ a few days ago and they were being trucked to Cali. But the WW logistics website shows it was discharged in Galveston TX yesterday, and it's only anyones guess whats going on from there.

Mine should be here and ready by next week! I'm taking delivery early/mid october. I wish Mini would extend the 1.9% APR for 2010s but I doubt they would this early

I really hope they do, I'm holding off to order for a few weeks... and I know they're offering this on '09's, but I don't see why (in this economy) they wouldn't offer it to encourage more sales for the start of '10. Hey MINI/BMW, why not bring in the start of the financial quarter with a bang, with a continued 1.9APR?! Ehhh?

Not like they've had a problem with sales, though, which could be why it'll most likely be back up for '10. Sigh.

Maybe not though...

you'll be lucky if you get 3.9%, but I predict 4.9% for '10 models

While waiting for my '10 to get here in the next couple of weeks, finance searching is starting to kick in. I pointed out to my MA that you can get any 2010 BMW for 2.9% through BMW Bank of America...so why not Mini? We'll find out.

Ours just finished production today - any ideas how long it will take to get across the pond? I'm surprised there are some in the states already.

You all will have to let everyone know about the financing. We are planning to pay cash, but if I can get 1.9% that makes more sense.

When I make payments on my 09', my bank account says BMW of America for the transaction.

Yea, I know...that's my point. BMW of America IS Mini Finance. So if you can have a "BMW" for 2.9....why not "Mini" for 2.9?

They were taking orders before production started, so it is not like there was a lack of demand that they needed to provide an incentive for. Typically manufacturers will place these incentives on low selling models only, so it would absolutely make sense to have it on just one brand.

Ahh, so no one wants BMWs...makes sense. Plus, an exceptional FICA score will help land a great percentage rate as well.
