After a couple months reading about minis on here we finally took the plunge. We left our mini dealer about 1 hour ago and have been on cloud 9 since.

The car we ordered specs as follows
2008 MCSa
Chili Red/White Roof
Bridge Spoke Wheels
Tuscan Beige Interior
Piano Black Trim
Premium Package
Rear Fog Lamp
Arm Rest
Park distance Control
Multifunction Steering Wheel
+ Other things I probably missed.

We are scheduled for week 25 production. I would like to say the overall experience was very easy. The dealer was no pressure and didn’t try and talk us into extras. I feel we got a very fair deal. The whole process took a very short time as well.

I would like to thank everyone on NAM who has given advice. You guys don’t know how much you help out. By the time I went into my local mini dealer I felt very prepared and knew exactly what I wanted.

The whole experience left us feeling very good (not something that always happens when buying a car). Now comes the hardest part…….the waiting. Hopefully by the end of July we will have our car.

 

Sounds super nice....cool interior!!! Placing that order is very exciting!!!!!

 

Congrats!
Your ship should just miss prime atlantic hurricane season!

 

CR with Tuscan beige interior....VERY classy, two thumbs up

 

Yeah Im 33 years old TODAY and I feel as excited as a little kid. What a birthday present. Thanks to my wife for making this a great one

It would be so sad for it to get almost here then sink in a hurricane

Thanks we love it too and its hard to find them out there with this color it seems. We learned our lesson the hard way after the black leather in my mustang. My wife has burnt her legs more than once on a hot summer day.

 

congrats and let the wait begin

 

Don't worry, the closest call came in 2002 when the Tricolor sank

The ship that sank, the Tricolor, was carrying 2,862 cars, including BMW's, Volvos and Saabs, worth $40 million to $50 million, a spokesman for the Norwegian shipping company, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines, said in Oslo.

 

Congrats! Don't forget to join the Week 25 support thread in the 1st gear group
