Thanks gbsim!

I actually had a lot of fun picking up my MINI, but then again I have the most awesome MA! There wasn't a lot of pressure from the finance manager, however I knew I wanted to get the extended warranty before I met him so there wasn't much persuasion to do on his part, lol.

I did have to play a little game of "guess which MINI is yours" as all the MINI's inside (that were previously purchased) were covered. Then when I thought I had found it, another MA looked at me and said, "naw, that's not it", so then I was confused. But I found out he was just picking on me, lol, and it was in fact my car. I gave him a dirty look and he giggled at me.

Anyways, it was a good time.

Didn't happen to see a Laser Blue did you?? Actually my MA said they were detailing it so I don't think that it would have been on the floor. I keep getting frustrated with my MA as he keeps calling and emailing my husband who has nothing to do with this purchase at all! Very aggravating!

Do I need to plan on buying floor mats? Any freebies come your way?

NO FREEBIES!! Lol!!!

It's a little irritating, but hey, what am I gonna do?

Now, you might be able to talk your MA into getting them for you, but I had no luck. I had to buy them. Blech. Actually, I did get a keychain, so yay!

No, I didn't see a LaB one. All the cars inside that weren't being purchased at that moment were completely covered.

Let your MA know that this is YOUR car, that YOU are financing it (I'm assuming your husband's name will not be on the car at all) and that you don't appreciate him going to your husband as if you aren't capable of conducting business on your own. I'm sure that'll fix that problem, lol.

Believe me, I've tried.... no such luck.

We're paying for it with a business check, it will be in the business name...... no financing and traded a BMW that was in the business name, so he's just arbitrarily made the decision that my husband MUST be the one that knows what's up with the car.

At this point, I've decided to just smile and be happy and let it roll of my back. I'm figuring that from now on I'll be dealing with the service dept anyway so I think I'll make a point to introduce myself to the service manager tomorrow.

My MINI finally came in yesterday. Eight weeks to the day after ordering. I am extremely pleased with the way it looks. My only issue is that they left off some of the Cream line interior pieces. Called my MA and he is getting them ordered so no biggie.
