Not sure. I'm back at work where I can't look at the OL. I plan to go by the dealer around 1pm as it is right around the corner from my work...I hope to see a big truck full of Minis!!!

Or, they'll stare at me blankly and tell me the delivery date has been moved back to 8/17. It's anyone's guess.

 

Will keep fingers crossed thatit has arrived.

One of us having dates advanced every few days is enough, really hope you take delivery as scheduled. !

 

Thank you! I hope you're right!

 

As for the CEL issues, if I remember correctly it appears it could just be a software update needed....but with things lately, I may be confused on that.

Since I'm still waiting for a reply to an email to my MA on Sunday, it seems the manager is fast in getting an email to you about giving a rating. Appears to me she is aware there coud be issues to cause less than 5's and now wants to resolve it. I talked to her when I had problems with there delay in paying of the trade in, she was going to call be back within an hour, never did. With all the dealings with the sales staff so far, I will not even be close to 5's. I will gladly drive over and take the time to explain all of my concerns and issues with here if I receive an email as you did.

I'm still amazed they deliverd a new Mini with a CEL problems, that should have been found during the PDI they are suppose to do. Even if it was a freak thing and did just first appear 15 mins before your arrivial, I feel there should be some type of compensation for you needing to wait for an appointment, then taking your time to take the car in to solve the issue.

On the bright side I hope you are enjoying the new toy and have time for some motoring, still lots of good weather for it.

 

Any update yet, like you have the car and to busy out motoring to post.

 

*watching clock for good news from wondermini*

 

As I expected...my delivery date has been moved back. Not too horribly--it's now tomorrow instead of today. I should be able to pick it up on Thursday. They have record it was loaded on a truck yesterday and they say it takes two days from that point. I don't believe them.

I wasn't really expecting good news, so I'm kind of ok with the extension. I figure the worst case scenario is that I pick up the car on Saturday.

 

and naturally, no update to the OL.

 

Are you sitting down ??

I just had a call from one of the MA's I have been dealing with, his words were " your mini is being unloaded right now" We are going to be there at 5pm to do the paper work and take Mini home, now if we don't have the CEL problem like tonic did.

My OL is still showing the 13th, the MA says his is still showing the 15th, so hopefully yours will be on the truck and there no later than tomorrow. The dates don't seem to be accurate, so if you are on a truck, you are really close now.

 

This is good news!!! Post pictures!!!

 

Taking both camera and handy cam so should have some pics uploaded this evening. Taking the back roads home on the 30 mile trek, as I just made a 9am appointment for tomorrow to have the paint protection/tinting/windsheild film installed in San Ramon. So will be taking the back roads on that trek, staying off the Altamont Pass till Mini is protected.

 

I'm so sorry

 

Congrats!!!!!!!

 

Thanks taking off for EB, no call so far so hopefully there are no problems with Mini.

 

This is the longest break without a Tharkun post ...good news is, this likely means there's a new Mini to be driven.

Hope all went well at EB Mini. I expect pictures tomorrow.

 

Just uploaded pics from camera, re-sizing and will post on about 15 mins.
Delivery went smooth, took about 2 hrs 15 mins, so far no CEL problem, and odometer had 4 miles, now 68.

 

Awaiting pictures impatiently...

How obvious is my vicarious happiness for you? I WANT MY MINI!!!

 

The MA's I have been dealing with re-gained some of my respect this evening by doing the following :
1) From the time Waggoner's off loaded Skeeter to the scheduled dlivery time was about 3.5 hours and Skeeter was all shined and sitting on the show room floor locked and waiting.
2) Full tank of gas and set of carpet floor matts without needing to ask.
3) Finance Manager was great, no hidden charges added to the contract, paper work complete and added the correct sales tax for the county I live in.
4) MA did not rush in explaining the options, features of Skeeter and did the set up of the cell phone. Our LG 8300's work fine with Skeeter's blue tooth system including the phone book import.
5) We had walked away from Skeeter to Blair's desk for paper work. A customer walked in and was looking at the 3 Mini's on the show room floor. Blair was first to notice the guy was opening the door on Skeeter and walked over and nicley told him this Mini was a customers and locked Skeeter up.

So over all the delivery was smooth and painless and actually enjoyable.

So here is Skeeter !



Buster has been waiting 59 days to meet his new buddy!

Buster is axious for his first ride with Skeeter !!



Now it is wondermini's turn, crossing fingers for delivery tomorrow !

 

He's beautiful! (I assume Skeeter is a boy?)

Congratulations! I can see it's all worth the wait...

I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes. I'm not under the impression they would hurry to give me the car on the same day as delivery. (I've also not heard a peep about free floor mats, but that seems to be a theme on NAM, so I think I'll ask).

OH PLEASE LET IT ARRIVE TOMORROW!!!

 

Don't see the chrome side mirrors much. I'm relieved to see it looks great as mine will have it too.

 

Yes it's a boy.

There was a lot of thought about going with the chrome packages and mirrors, Mini's do look great with no chrome....but in the end we gambled on the chrome and now having seen it, are very pleased with it.

As so many other have said, yes it is worth the wait, and after 15 minutes with the car seems all the headaches are forgotten.

Do try for the floor mats, mention all of the stress over delivery dates and also that East Bay is doing it.

Let us know as soon as you have a confirmed delviery, and it HAS to be tomorrow !!

 

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been in a funk all day. Initially thought one more day didn't bother me, but I was wrong. I'm tired of driving my husbands box (Element) around. It's anything but fun.

I'll update tomorrow...

Enjoy Skeeter!

 

Ya the last 24 hours have been torture, not knowing which delivery date to be correct. Just checked OL and it has updated finally, now showing the 15th.

Hang in there, your Mini is on a truck so it has to either be there now or early am.

Skeeter and I are off at 7:30am for San Ramon via back roads to have the paint protecton/tinting done, that will kill most of the day. Will check NAM for updates as soon as we return home. Good Luck !!!!

 

Congrats Tharkun!!! He looks great! I'm glad EB MINI made it better in the end.

 

Thanks things are better now, need to call and make an appointment to have the Ipod adapter installed. Just back from San Ramon and needed to leave Skeeter there for the clear bra/tiniting/winshiled protection. Pick him up tomorrow at noon, the boss gave me his car as a loaner, so drove a PT Cruiser back home.....not as much fun as a Mini.
