So, by the end of October, we should have it. Maybe sooner - we're in the DC area.

Or it may not ever show up as a change in their system. When I ordered my '10 MC in June, I was moved into a dealer inventory slot... and the OL showed that I was getting a MCS even after I'd picked it up.

What dealer did you get yours from?

Sterling. And, I know of at least one person that's semi-local expecting to take delivery this Saturday or Monday. The car's in Baltimore already. Not sure if it's at port, or what. Also don't know what dealer they purchased through.

Yeah I ordered from Sterling as well. I had a bad experience and then got a bad vibe from Passport/Alexandria, so I went with Sterling. They're not quite on top of things as Alexandria seemed like, but Al is really nice and knew I wanted a MINI and worked with me and my MA to get a deal everyone liked. My car is supposed to land next Wednesday (

seems like yesterday I was ordering!), I'm hoping it could make it to the dealer by Friday afternoon/evening since Bmore is a whopping 1.5hrs from us, with traffic. I would LOVE a Saturday pickup, especially since it looks like I may be out of town Mon-Wed the next week on work
