My Justacooper's replacement!
 
Just put in an order to replace my lemon 08 MC:

09 DS/W MCS
Cold Weather Package
Navi
Sirius
Xenons
Auto Wipers/Lights
HiFi Upgrade
Auto A/C
Comfort Bluetooth
Smartphone Prep
Bridge Spokes (to be replaced with my SLites)
Anthracite Headliner
Fluid Silver Dash
White Signals

Just barely missed the $30k mark with a no-nonsense build.

Now we wait. Placed the order today for a Dec build, at 112 status right now.

..The wait begins.:impatient:

(had to share my excitement)

The fluid silver refers to the type/style of the interior trim.

Congrats on your on-order Mini!! :thumbsup:

Oh yes indeed! Got the Nav instead. No more crappy sunroof that wont open and has so much wind noise my bluetooth doesn't work.:grin:

Neil excellent replacement + upgrading to a '09 MCS :thumbsup:

I am getting a buy back from MINI USA on my '08 MCSa under lemon law.

Apple Nov 24, 2008 06:27 AM

I also left out the sunroof and went for the Navi, its awesome...

I think you'll find the turbo most satisfying. Enjoy!

Is it still going to get built in December? I was told the plant is closing Dec 7th to Jan 5.

I hope it does. I just got my production date, Dec. 2 and I placed my order 2 weeks ago.

Me, too. We can swat our nail bitten fingers out of one another's mouths! :)

PatM Nov 25, 2008 06:57 AM

I'm thinking everyone will make it.

I'm sure they have extra production capacity. 600 cars a day they should be able to squeeze you in.

The Lord willing and the creek don't rise you should make it!!
