Hello All!
Hi Folks:
This is my first post to the site. I am not a Mini owner yet, but I did order my "S" a few weeks ago.
"Sparky" will be Jet Black with a white roof, will have the Convenience, Cold Weather, and Premium Packages, as well as the Aux input, fog lights, the Limited Slip Differential, and Dynamic Stability Control. There may be a couple of things I forgot as I don't have the build sheet with me, and I think I may add a few other things as I have a 10 to 12 MONTH wait for this baby! Talk about delayed gratification! This is Cooperus Interruptus!
On a serious note, I ordered Sparky from NWMini in Tacoma. Is this wait typical for them? I have heard that the West Coast has to wait longer for cars than the East, but I see wait time of only 3 to 5 months for some midwest and East Coast dealerships. Is there a reason for such a large difference?
Anyway, thanks for letting a newbie post. I love reading all of your messages, and I have learned a lot already!
Happy Motoring!

I live on the east coast and it took 6 weeks from order to delivery for my MC. I'm not sure about the wait for the MCS, but I would imagine it's not too much longer than that. Can someone explain why the wait is so long on the west coast? I just read that MINI sales were "flat" in the US for 2004, but I don't understand how they can say that when they're just not delivering them fast enough in some areas. I think the buyers are there, but they don't like paying so much over MSRP and they don't like waiting a year. I know I wouldn't.
