Just ordered my Mini!! :)

Hello all!!
The saga continues!! Well, I just ordered my Mini from Crystal at Lauderdale Mini. :smile: :smile: :smile:

Crystal was super and the whole transaction was VERY fast and easy!!
(There was a little difficulty after the fact b/c I switched from Dan to Crystal, but all is right with the world now. Ok, maybe Dan is still perturbed, but everybody said that Crystal was the one to go to!)

So, now all I have to do is wait!! Luckily I don't have to wait too long . . . I should get it at the end of Feb!!

That being said, I am still anxiously waiting . . .

You guys are the BEST!!! :smile:

I know I am going to have lots of questions along my Mini adventure, but at least I know who to go to!!!

I honestly don't mind waiting . . . okay, talk to me in a month and then I'll probably have a different answer!!!

Oops! I forgot to list the specs!!

Here is what I am getting:

Chili Red Convertible
CVT (I hate driving a stick!)
Body color interior
Chrome exterior
Auto Air
Multi Function Steering Wheel
Universal Garage Door Opener
Sport Seats
Space Gray/Panther Black Cloth (I was going back and forth on cloth and leatherette, but I was afraid I would hate the leatherette in the summer)

(There were a few other things I was interested in, but I wanted to stay on a budget!)

Very sweet spec! You'll love the CVT transmission. Make sure to learn all about the CVT at www.mini2.com dedicated forums for the Cooper CVT model.

Feel free to ask any questions as I also own a '02 Cooper CVT with 27K miles.

I forgot to mention this . . .

Lauderdale Mini has raised their dealer services fee. (SIGH!)
It was $299 and now it's $379. I tried to get the old price, but no luck. Sad thing is that that everyone who picks up their Mini in 2005 will have to pay $379 -- even the people who ordered in 2004. (at least that is what my MA said)

Just wanted to let y'all know the updated info -- I was really counting on the $299! (EVERYBODY told me it would be $299!)
