horray ! my new mini is on the Otello and is scheduled to port in NY on the 20th ! :-)

 

2008? Is this a EURO spec car?

 

huh? what do you mean?

the 2008's entered production on Sept 1st ('verts only - hard tops in 2-3 months)

 

That's what I was looking for. Thanks.

 

CG, what is the name/location of your dealership?

 

Congrats...shouldn't be too far away. I'd say hopefully you'll get some good top down weather left, but to be honest, every days a top down day.

 

Hi, he's not going for - just over to Princeton, NJ.

I am just wondering how long it takes to clear the port and get over to the dealership. Once it leaves the port it should get to the dealership the same day.

 

I decided to wait until the 08's come out to order mine. My dealer is telling me that they aren't going to be available to order until some time in December/January. So I was very surprised to hear that you ordered an 08 now. Based on your info, I just called the Princeton dealership and they told me the same thing my dealer is claiming...January some time.

There is a really big disconnect somewhere. Are you positivie it's not an 07?

 

:-) rather certain.

2008 Convertibles are in production currently. Tje 2008 hard-tops are entering production december or January....does that help?

 

Congrats! And coming into the nice weather driving time too!

 

It would if I could find someone who would sell me one.

 

Thats strange. are you near NJ? I visited the owners lounge and there are plenty of people with 2008's on order. Yo can always call Mini too.

 

Just got back from the dealer, and they have changed their tune. The 08' can be ordered! Now if I could just figure out what options to get...

 

Congrats on your 08 Vert. I would love to see pictures, your 08 has the turbo'd engine, right?

Have fun with the top down.

 

I will post pictures ! trust me :-)

this is a 2008, vert, BRG, Sidewalk, JCW, Cold Weather, convenience pkg, Areo Kit, Digital Power Module, Sirius......and more - I loved putting this car together ! I am getting excited and surprisingly so is the wife (its a good thing)

 

Are the 08 verts gonna have turbo? What about the restyled center console----My dealer said not until 09 for both.

 

All discussions I am having about the 08's with my dealer say they're exactly the same as the 07's. No turbo, no restyled console. Those are coming in 09.
