Released to carrier... is that the 'released to carrier and is headed to port of exit' or something else?

ItchyPigCreations Jun 11, 2014 02:45 PM

Released to trucking company to be delivered to the dealer from the port in NJ

Wow aren't you the lucky one. I ordered a week after you and I just entered production yesterday. You must have checked out in the "express lane" :thumbsup:

Wow, you have certainly been in the fast lane, in 6th gear. LOL. That is an extremely fast turnaround time for your order. Congratulations!

Passport MINI in Alexandria

Congratulations! I ordered on 5/31 and will finish production on 6/14. I hope to receive my car fast. On the other hand, I am still 10 grands short and don't want to finance so Mini can take their time while I am waiting for my pay checks :)

I'm a NoVA new MINI owner as well. Ordered from Mini of Alexandria, so far, have had my MINI since April 12, have had a great experience with them. Loving my first MINI as well!

Heck I'd take delivery it's not THAT bad. What did they do, jump up and down on it? You are not the first person to have a damaged car delivered to a dealership. Any idea what they are going to do with that car now?

Conrad_Thomaier Jun 13, 2014 12:12 PM

Itchy, can they build you a 2014?

You mean a 2015. Before they would quit taking orders for this years' cars around the end of July anticipating fall delivery for the next year model.

Oh man, that sucks big time! Sorry to hear that. So V2 will be a 2015 with the mandatory rear camera/pdc with NAV XL? Is it worth the extra $$ not to have the dealer repair this one and offer some compen$ation to take it??

ItchyPigCreations Jun 13, 2014 06:29 PM
