How Long from US. Port to Dealer?

Okay, so I've waited and waited patiently living through all of your posts. Tracked LittleBean to NY, arrived like 2 weeks ago. Now I cannot log into the Owners Lounge and last it said was in transport. Called MiniUSA and they said they could only track it to port or was that the port from across the pond? How long should I wait from when I believe the car arrived in US distribution center till my MA calls?

It should only take a few days to clear the distribution center, then off to your dealer. I would suggest giving your MA a call and asking.

Check your dealer's website. Look at his new car "inventory". My car showed-up there before my MA called me to say it was in.

LittleBean,

Did you order a MCS or MCS Clubman? If you did then all of them were held up (hostage) at the VDC by the EPA for emissions. From what I have been able to find out, this is not uncommon for this to occur each new model year. That didn't happen until this past Thursday.

If your final port was New York, then I imagine your MINI may already be on a truck and on its way to your dealer.

Give your MA a call Monday morning and they should be able to let you know where your baby is.

Hope this helps.

Hey TLPD120
I ordered originally a 2008 clubman s and was told it would be late Sept maybe first week or so of October. Then my MA called to say i would be getting a 2009 and then that it went to production 2 weeks early. Anyway, I checked their inventory and saw some 2009 in stock but none were mine. Will call hm monday morning.
thanks

My car was on the truck 2 days after it got to port. Like TLPD120 said word is cars have been getting held up so you need to call your MA and check.
