That sux I was hoping things would get moving for everyone.

As for me still no word in where my car is. Still in limbo and no one knows where, not so thrilled at the moment.

 

Glazer, very nice! Thanks for the pics. I'll be posting my own soon. I get to pick her up on Saturday!!!

 

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to seeing yours. You are going to love it more than you can imagine.


Ordered: Dec. 8, Prod. Start: Dec. 11, Born: Dec. 19, In Transit: Dec. 30, VDC: Jan. 13, Est. Delivery: Jan. 16, Pickup: Jan. 17

Congratulations Glazer, awesome choices on the Mini!

To those still waiting, hang in there a while longer - hopefully everyone get's theirs moving through the process soon!

 

I just called 866-ASK-MINI and they said my car is in daily production, which means it should go into production any day...as soon as tomorrow but probably this week. It is important to speak to someone and not rely on the recorded message (which had no info on my production number). The MA had told me that it would probably be a Feb 6 production date. The Owners Lounge has no record of it.
This is really not that important (compared to producing great cars), but do you think that after ten years of doing this they would have their act together in terms of information systems and communications? It is rather mystifying.

 

Deli,
thanks so much for calling them and then leaving the post. I too called them a few minutes ago, and for the first time, 1-866-ASK-MINI knew more than my MA. According to them, my car actually started prodcution at 6am YESTERDAY morning.

Woohoo!!! Oh, please be ture, please be true!!!!!!!

 

Picked it up Friday but haven't had the chance to get some good Pix outside yet. It was a very long 8+ weeks but now that it's home it was well worth the wait. Hope you all get your Mini's home soon!

 

I'm not a big fan of the stripes but I must say, your MINI looks SHARP!!! Congrats on your new ride

 

sweet!!!

 

BadA%%!!!

Looks great, the stripes look great. Must be a guy thing

 

The recording says my baby is in the body shop , completion date of the 25th.

Now I saw on another post from gilmoregirls that stated there is a ship pick up the 29th, to LA. Hope I make it

 

You're one step closer than me. Mine still says a completeion date of 01/29/13. That means it won't make the Topeka in time for deliver in late February. Blknblu, your baby should make that boat!! Good luck I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

Looks like my Mini might make the Carmen on Wed!!

 

The last California ship was a day late, so you may make topeka.

 

My fingers are crossed Kleiner!! So hopeful. Can't wait to post pic of the beauty once she arrives!!!!!!

 

Anyone else receive production updates this week?

 

All they said to me on the phone was that the status changed to "scheduled for production" on January 11th, but they have no info on which date that might be scheduled for. So, no change and no update to the owner's lounge.

 

Anyone having luck logging into the Owner's Lounge? I've been trying to register but nothing is showing up...not even the wrong car! Keeps saying I'm too fast on the draw.

 

Nope Figure I'll wait till Wednesday before I start calling.

 

Call Ask Mini as their site did go down late Fri and didn't come back up until early Saturday so maybe they are still having some issues.

 

Hopefully things will start moving as the factory just opened back up yesterday. I ordered mine from the dealer on Sat Jan 12 and I still have not received a production number. Hoping I'll get that sometime this week!

 

I ordered mine on Sat the 5th and had a production number the Tuesday after. I would bug your dealer. Each dealer only has so many slots given to them for production. The higher volume dealers get more slots. I'd keep on them. Mine is already about to get on a ship tomorrow. Keep bugging!

 

Day 4 of waiting to find why my car is not at the dealer still.

A last week for it to get through the VDC should have been enough time.

 

From what I've heard they usually sit at the port between 10-12 working days. With Monday being a holiday, you may be waiting a bit longer. Sorry to be a downer

 

Congratulations cospringjc. Although I graduated, I've been lurking to make sure my fellow Zenith Leader travelers make it home. Your car looks really great!
