I think I am having one of the worst days ever.

I ordered my MINI in August, and have been tracking him everyday. Well just the other day it made it to land, and then sent off to the dealer.

The expected arival date yesterdy was 10-4-2005. Today the date cahnged to 10-3-2005. So this leads me to think that it made it to my dealer on Monday. And I know my dealer doesn't work on Tuesdays, so I wasn't too worried. They have to install the security system, and what not.

So today I am all excited that I might get my MINI, so I call just before lunch (11am), and the lady on the phone tells me my dealer is out of the office. Looks like he might be out all week! I'm just so upset. What the heck am I to do? I want my MINI! And I am all out of waiting.... The other reason I am upset is that I am going to be busy Thursday - Saturday, and there is no way I can pick it up.

I wouldn't be so upset if I knew it was still on its way or something. But to think Bean is just sitting there, waiting. It makes me just so... GRRR.

 

I think at least 95% of us have gone through this syndrome you are experiencing, hang in there

 

i'm in the 5%.

i just bought mine used so i could have it that day. too bad i couldn't even get it til the next day because i got to the dealership so late... but i was patient... was upset because of my poor crippled miata i had to lug home after i left the dealership tear.

But once they brought the MINI to my work, that's when all the excitement hit me. Besides, i already waited 2+ years just to be able to afford the mini... waiting 24 hours wasn't so bad

 

I used to sell cars, not Minis, but cars. If someone was going to be out of the office for a significant length of time, the sales manager would ask someone else to handle the delivery.

Not sure if your dealer would do it or not, but worth asking if you're in a hurry.

You know thats not a bad idea..... ooo look some hope over there... lets go get it....

*runs... trips....falls down a well*

Called.... he will be in tomorrow it seems. The afternoon reseptionist isn't as nice as the morning one... It must be nice to get such long weekends.

 

Yayyy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you....we've all been there - one way or another - whether the waiting is 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year......can't wait to see pictures...

I have picutes of his cake.... now if I had just remembered my USB cable you might actually get to see it.

 

Exactly

Sounds stupid to me, the sales dude ain't there and I won't be able to pick it up for a week, uhmmmm, I would call them back tomorrow and ask them to cut the BS and deliver the car

Good Luck,

Berk

 

Sorry your wait has been extended a bit. One weekend without a MINI is a tragedy.

On the bright side, you'll be motoring soon and all of this will seem like a distant bad dream.

 

Better post some pix as soon as you can, TBC! Like Yucca said, once you are motoring, this suffering will be totally forgotten! :smile:

Nothing wrong with making the dealer suffer meanwhile, I'd call them every 15 min. and ask them if the Mini is ready

 

Looks like the pain will be ending soon. I get to pick him up after work at 4pm CST. So the pain I feel is going to be intence until that point.

 

Hooray for you Can hardly wait to see your new ride

Yeah, I pretty much thinking pain will not be what you're gonna be feelin' after you motor off the lot!! I predict that you're gonna have a really nice weekend!!!

 

Just a few more hours!!!! Hope all goes great!

 

There is only one really sad part. I get the car, then I drive home, and have to run off to work again! And them work again all day Saturday! Have to wait till Sunday to really drive! But the pain I am feeling right now is in my right shoulder.... ow.... I hope it goes away soon.
