Finally, I got a production no. from my MA!!
It has been a long time, I placed my order in early
Feb.
Anyone has an idea when the car will be in dealer.
My MA told me she is expecting early August. Still
more two months away, I jus can't wait

 

Hi USA!!

I am guessing you are on the west coast like me. It takes a while. I placed my order in November of last year, Got my production number April 1st and my MINI rolled off the line on May 4th. It is currently on a boat headed to Port Hueneme expected to arrive on May 31st.

Don't worry, the wait isn't TOO unbearable. Although as time goes on you will see your mood go downhill.

Edit: And Welcome to NAM!

 

Back last September when I ordered MIB they said that there was a two week delay to get the production number. Seems that they had sold their alotment of MINIs that month. And I had to wait for the next months alotment.

 

Wow, I got my production number the day I put down my deposit. April 3rd, 2006 and I am picking it up the first week in June. It's arriving on the west coast this Saturday (20th).

 

Hi Andy,

You are right I am in bay area, northern california.
So from the time you got a production no. to the car arrives at dealership,
there will be 2 months wait.
Is it correct?

 

My MINI should be arriving sometime late July/early August too... maybe our MINI's will be on the same ship. I'm in Nor Cal too (Chico)... which dealer did you purchase from?

 

My dealer is pleasanton, where is yours?
My original MA left the dealership. Thanks for this site, someone
posted a message about it, then I called them and they ordered
the car for me last week.

 

I purchased in Concord. I called Pleasanton and they had a 9 month wait and I don't htink I could do that... I'd go bloomin' crazy!

 

do you need to play markup in concord?

 

Yep... mine was $1795 but I really want this car BAD!

So what did you order... color, etc?

 

Yeah, 2 months sounds about right. I am not too sure about the exact time of arrival, but its gonna be close to 2 months.

 

Here is my configuration.

Cooper S
Hyper Blue
Roof and Mirrors in White
White Bonnet Stripes
17" Alloy Run Flat Performance
Interior Surface Anthracite
Center Arm Rest
Black / Gray Leatherette

 

When we take delivery, what will the dealership try to sell us?
This is what I can think of now
1) extended warranty
2) extended maintainence
3) tire warranty

anything else?

Which one worth the money??

 

I think the extended maintainence is worthy!!

 

Seems many also try to sell you Lo Jack. My dealer Comped me ours

 

does anyone knows how much these extended warranty cost?
1) extended warranty
2) extended maintainence
3) tire warranty

 

All three vary from dealer to dealer. The combined price took MIB from Just over $21,000 to well over $24,000

 

Hi MIB,

Are they that expensive? $3000 for all three?
Can you negotiate on the price on these warranty or
they are as firm as the price of the mini?

 

HAH! after reading this, I crossed my fingers and decided to check my e-mail... sure enough, there was my production # waiting for me! woo-hoo!

(Ordered mid-march)
