How long did you wait for your 2009 to arrive???

I was wondering how long you waited to get your new Mini..I ordered mine two weeks ago and I am hearing anywhere from 4-12 weeks. Lets hear your wait time from order date..

It's been 5 weeks and Duncan is still waiting at the port at Southampton. He's been there since the 22nd.

When did you guys get an estimated delivery date? Was it at the point it was scheduled for production. Nobody has given me an estimated delivery date as of yet!!!!

I received a call from my MA informing me that my MINI was on the sea and the ship (the Isolde) is expected to port in California on 10/23. He then said I should expect delivery somewhere around 10 days after that, depending on variables of ship arrival, trucking, and dealer details.

My estimated delivery was quoted to me when they told me the production month, and is written on the price quote

So other than the owners lounge you didn't get any other info?

I gathered my info from the OL, NAM, and my MA. I got the more specific tracking information for the Isolde here (among my week 39er friends in our designated thread).

Just waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

I just ordered mine on Sept 12. my MA said we should expect it about the 2nd week of Nov, so that's roughly 2 months. i'm in upstate NY, and ordered from Towne MINI in Buffalo. hoping it doesn't take any longer cause i'm really looking forward to driving it home to south jersey for thanksgiving

My dealer hadn't received their allotment by the time I placed my order, so I was up in the air for quite some time. I didn't get my production number until more than three weeks after I placed my order.

Delivery to Pacific Northwest

Ordered 6/26, Built 8/11, delivered to Portland 9/29, owner pickup 10/4. The hurricanes delayed the ship 1 week. Had numerous add ons at dealership that took a few days. Well worth the wait. See gallery for pics.

Put deposit on 09/14. Order placed on 09/16. Started production 10/01. Schedule to be finished on 10/07. Projected delivery 1st-2nd week of Nov.

Let's see how much of that comes true :-)
