Ordered my 2010 Mini yesterday!

Hi everyone! I think this is my first NAM post. I thought I'd introduce myself and my newly ordered 2010 MC. The stats:

Oxygen blue with white roof/mirrors/stripes
Cold weather package
Sport Suspension
DTC
Sport Seats
Punch Carbon Leather

I may have gotten a slot in Week 41, but we'll see once the owner's lounge info gets updated. Right now it's still showing the car as it was before my MA modified it.

I've been lusting after a Mini since BMW brought them back, and finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and put my order in. Very exciting!

Thanks for all the welcomes! While I wait, I'll tackle the important tasks of naming and deciding what (if any) vanity plate to get.

Welcome to NAM.
Last night I think I looked like =>

The Mini isn't exactly an expensive car, but it's my first NEW car and more than twice the cost of any car I've bought before.

Congrats!! I have had mine for 4 months and still look for excuses to drive and actually take the long way home from work. These are FUN cars. The
Owner's Lounge has a lot of good info- you can even watch short instructional videos and look at the onwer's manual on line while you wait. Happy future motoring

I am not immune to buyer's remorse but I can truthfully say I have not had a moment of remorse from my MINI purchase. I sold my beloved BMW convertible for the MINI. I was grinning from ear to ear about a mile after I left the dealership with my MINI.

Welcome to NAM.
Welcome to NAM wludavid!

That's a nice build on your MC... Love Oxy-Blue... I would have gotten that colour for my JCW but it's only available on the MC... I know you're going to love it!

I agree totally with wandur...

Me when I ordered my JCW ==>

Me when I found out it was built ==>

Me when I was informed that it was on a ship USA bound ==>

And I have no doubt that this will be...

Me when I get my hands on my MINI ==>

You too will have the same Big Grin fixed upon your face... The MINI has the power to do that!

Enjoy & Motor On!

Love the Oxygen Blue! Too bad it's not available on Clubbies.

Congrats!

Any official word on APR for your '10? Everybody seems to be giving rough estimates... but nobody I've known who has an '10 has solid info on that.

You know... i've always wondered, i understand the "carbon" part.. but why PUNCH leather? ..is that a brand? or a type of material leather?

I just took delivery of my 2010 Thursday, and got 3.99% through Morgan/Chase. When I went in, I was already approved for 3.99% through PenFed, but told my MA if they could meet or beat it, I'd do the paperwork there and be done with it. The finance gal got it matched through Morgan/Chase, I was in and out for the entire delivery process in 2 hours...and that included a full ResistAlll application while I waited.

I ordered my new Mini 3 weeks ago. (MiniLounge says its awaiting transport.) If all goes well, I sell my '06 MCS today (crossed fingers) I don't think I have quite the anxiety level I've read elsewhere, as I've had the '06 for 3 years now. The only reason to sell the '06 is that it is a manual trans car, and my left knee isn't co-operating as well as it used when I was, uh, younger.

btw - Driving the '06MCS still puts as BIG a smile on my face when I drive it now as it did the first time I took a Mini for a test drive. When it does sell, and I'm "forced" to drive my 30+ year old Alfa Romeo as a daily driver, I will, most assuredly, become more anxious for my delivery date.
