Happy for you! Looks great (I think-lol)

Yeah, good that you missed the up-sell spiel. Up to that point it was all "happy happy joy joy". Then came--dunt-dun-duh--the finance guy with all the packages they were offering that could have added THOUSANDS to my baby. He was subtle as he quietly terrorized me into thinking I needed all that stuff. My hubby was fortunately, immune.

Looks sweet - what's the % on the tint?

Is there anyway I can search to see if my car made this boat? I have my VIN # if that helps.

Go to http://www.2wglobal.com/www/WEP/index.jsp , click customer centre, track and track, and enter VIN in the cargo ID box. It will tell you everything you need to know if it is on the boat.

Quick question, has anyone been given an ETA to dealership and actually been able to take their MINI home on that day or close to it?!

Yes. My MA notified me the first of the week that Fenway was in transit from the VPC and that it would be in TH/FR. It was ready for pick up FR night. You're sooo close...you'll be motoring in no time

All I have right now is an ETA. Dealer hasn't called and said if it's left the VDC yet. But the sales manager, the last time I talked to him said ETA was 3/18. My fingers are crossed!

I still haven't heard either. I left and email and VM this am-since I have an open morning I was HOPING the car MIGHT be there and ready to go...The OL says the car should have been at the dealer the 13th...

Just ordered my new Countryman S on Monday night and as of this morning he's already scheduled for production!

Built with the following specs:
Metallic Absolute Black
Black Lounge Leather (Rear Sport Seats)
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Technology Package (w/out Nav)
Dual Pane Sunroof
Xenon Headlights w/ Black Headlight Housing
White Turn Signals
Chrome Driving/Rally Lights
Chrome Line Exterior
Anthracite Headliner
Front and Rear Armrests
Anthracite Tunnel Spokes



I'm trading in my 2010 Pepper White Justa AKA "Watson". Very happy with the deals I got on both the ordered Mini and my trade, though I think my haggling has eliminated the possibility of them throwing in anything extra, like rubber mats.

And now I wait...sigh.

Thank you for this info. Nothing came up so sadly I guess I didn't make the boat..... literally.....

My car was finished on 3/7 so maybe it just didn't get to the dock in time.

I checked OL earlier in the week and it had an ETA of 3/15. I took another look today and the date had changed to yesterday 3/14 - am I in the Twilight Zone?

Did you get the payment you were hoping for? Or just bite the bullet?
