I know my new Cooper S is off the boat, and I believe in Greenville at the VDC.

I live 150 miles from my dealer, and I'm just trying to find out when I can come and hand them 30 grand.

An e-mail to the MA on Friday night, a voice mail on Saturday morning, and finally a voice mail to the sales manager late Saturday afternoon, have all gone unanswered.

I know Sat is a busy day, but don't you think someone should have been able to return my call?

 

even worse Sat. on memorial weekend....

 

chill. it will arrive eventually.

 

Call the MINI hot line #, the one I actually ordered, they tracked it better than the dealer did and are open 24/7. Give your dealer a Happy Memorial Day, maybe he is a VET or has family members who were and are not around, there is much more than MINIs, but maybe not for you right now!

 

Easy buddy - we've been through it also. Your MA really wants you to get it too - he won't get PAID on your order until you take delivery. It takes a little longer than seems reasonable and more than we'd like but "it is what it is".

From the time that your ship hits port, at LEAST a full week needs to pass before you might possibly take delivery. For most people, it's 8-10 days after your ship comes in, sometimes a little longer. Apparently, a real bottleneck is the availability of trucks to bring your car from the port to the VDC, and then - to the dealer. In your case, the VDC is a huge facility a few miles from the dealer in Greenville. The wait is almost over ... we promise! If you ordered a bunch of stuff that gets installed in port or the VDC then it can take longer too.

 

Depends... My car hit the port on a Monday, and it was at the dealer on Thursday and I picked it up on Sunday...

I bet the sales manager was on vaca. Call back. Squeaky wheel and all...
