I talked to another member here that was being told by his MA from Mountain View Mini that all his production slots for 07 were gone and that he would have to order an 08 and that he would not get the Mini until Feb 08 - he put his deposit down and talked about it here on the forum... I PM him and suggested he contact EB/Blair - he did and got his production number that day and is in week 42 of production... all this happened last week...
I do agree with the other posters here - Either YOUR MA should bend over backwards for you or MINI should - Someone should.... Its really up to you and how You choose to push... Good luck,, keep us informed...



Nice sig Harley

That really sucks for you and that's what i figured when i read the title "his mini is delayed" but since i cannot resist :P

Worst news examples:

1. Asteroid is gonna hit earth and wipe out all life in about a week
2. Joe suffers from ED and turns out he's also allergic to viagra
3. <Insert any incurable disease>

The stories I heard about damaged cars are more than a couple of decades old... when the auto-buying climate was much more "buyer beware" than today!

My condolences on the additional wait time. Hopefully your MA will work hard to make things right. Let us know how everything works out!

This is the same thing that happened to my 03 I ordered. It was dropped while unloading at the VPC. I ended up with an 04.

While it IS a bummer for sure....it's probably a blessing in disguise... You want your NEW MINI to be perfect...

And like a few others have posted already, FREEBIES.....go for FREEBIES....
