I put down a deposit on a S about 3 weeks ago but havent gotten a waitlist number yet. The salesman keeps telling me that they havent made out the list yet or something.
Can anyone of you tell me if you have numbers from Peabody and if so, how long it took for them to give you the number?

sorry about the long question

David Scott · Apr 25th, 2002, 11:03 PM

kars...You had the exact same post on the "other" board. Since I have already answered you "over there" (not to mention that I suck as a typist

), I'll refer you back to road***.com

BTW, a few of us New Englanders on this board are planning a MINI event sometime this year (No firm details yet!). Can we count you in?

hachomini · Apr 26th, 2002, 12:13 AM

I am ordering a Mini Cooper but I haven't been able to get in contact with the dealers to get any updates from them (they told me production was May for my mini).

Good Luck!

Cape Cod MINI · Apr 26th, 2002, 07:30 AM

I gave my deposit in August 2001 for a Cooper S(9 loooonnnnnggg months ago) and was never officially given a number or place on "the list".
They do have my full custom specs ready to be entered a soon as they can.
Interestingly, a dealer ("miniqueen") on the other forum said that today, April 26, is the day that S custom specs can go in.
Brig at MINI of Peabody told me that S custom specs can go in a month from now on May 26. Obviously conflicting dates.

kars · Apr 26th, 2002, 10:24 AM

thanks for the responses guys, yes there seems to be a lot of conflicting reports about when customer spec orders go in. I guess we'll have to wait and see as to what happens...
I'm all for a new england mini event!!

m37steve · Apr 26th, 2002, 12:08 PM

I ordered my Cooper w/CVT on 3/27, and I was told to expect it June-July. Peabody's CVT demo went into production on 4/11, I'm told. I do not yet have a number for my order/car.
I'm a definite maybe for a NE MINI event.

fledge · Apr 27th, 2002, 12:40 AM

Hey guys,

I visited the Peabody Dealer this week and I was told by Ron that their computers are not running yet. Everything is on folders so they have a lot of catching up to do, and they're also very busy since there's a lot of interest in the MINI.

He also said the 2003 model will have a couple of changes, but all he knew was that the cup holders will be placed in a different spot. That's all folks!

Cape Cod MINI · May 3rd, 2002, 05:37 PM

I'm posting just to get us back on the top of the thread!

Seriously though, has anyone had any updates from MINI Peabody. Last I heard from Brig was that they were able to "modify" some of the S orders on April 26.
Found out too, that despite having a deposit there since last August I am #83 on the list

Oh well, could be worse I suppose.
If anyone gets any news, post it here.

kars · May 7th, 2002, 11:20 AM

Just got confirmation that there will be no DS with black roof until the Sept build!!

GadgetGav · May 9th, 2002, 08:56 AM

We had our deposit down at Peabody for a Cooper in Nov last year and around the end of March we were told we were about 110 on the list... Then they rang up saying we've got a car with this spec, do you want it..? We got the car at the end of April, presumably because a lot of people ahaed of us were waiting for S's or for custom spec Coopers.
We just went back and put a deposit down on an S and they said about 9 months. This time we want a DS/Black with Xenons and Sport pack, so it will be at least Sept before it can get built and there must be LOTS of back ordered DS cars ahead of us..!! Still, the Cooper is fun until the S comes.
Peabody have been pretty good. Not always the most knowledgable, but fair on price (unlike the other Boston area dealer). Ron mentioned to us that the cup holders were moving for 2003... I don't know where he heard that but he seems to be telling everyone...!

hachomini · May 9th, 2002, 01:56 PM

I placed a deposit for the mini at the beginning of April and I was told that the delivery date would be July. I called last week and they told me that I would have to wait until August. Anyone ordered a mini in April?

m37steve · May 9th, 2002, 02:09 PM

Placed my deposit 3/27, was told maybe June but more likely July because I ordered a Cooper with CVT. Received a production # but no build date this week. However, my order is now on hold due to the Xenon headlight delay. I'm hoping for a July build and that I'll see the car no later than September... need to replace my current vehicle before the snow flies.

hachomini · May 15th, 2002, 01:00 AM

I am deciding on whether I should get the xenons or not. Not sure if I can wait another month. The problem I have now is that I have not been able to get a hold of the dealer for the past 2 weeks.

m37steve · May 15th, 2002, 06:37 AM

Another month? You can do it. Everything I've seen indicates the Xenons are worth the investment.

hachomini · May 18th, 2002, 11:10 PM

I think I will wait for the Xenons

The problem that I have now is getting in touch with my dealer. I have tried to reach him for the past two weeks...but no luck. I just want to check on the status of the car since they did tell me there wa a chance of having a May build date.

Cape Cod MINI · May 19th, 2002, 07:16 PM

Uh oh, Hachomini, I feel responsible. I think I steered you to them.

Well, still better than the Herb Chambers alternative.
I'm began to feel that I was becoming a pain in the butt so I stopped emails to them for a couple of weeks. It's just driving me nuts that I gave them $$ last August and still have nothing to show for it. Already have the Massachusetts "GOMINI" vanity plate and had to put it on the GrandPrix!Ugh

Well, at least the GrandPrix is supercharged too

I would gladly dump the Xenons for an earlier delivery.
There really is no excuse for them to not contact you, though. Hang in there.

hachomini · May 20th, 2002, 02:17 AM

Cape Cod MINI,
Even though I am having trouble getting in touch with the dealer at Peabody, I am glad I went to them instead of Herb.

I hope we hear from them soon!

hachomini · May 22nd, 2002, 05:43 PM

I finally got a response from my dealer!

My mini has a production date of 5/22...TODAY!
Unfortunately when I went on to the owner's lounge to review my options, Xenon was not on. The dealer never said anything about delaying my production though....
Anyone have the same problem??

Cape Cod MINI · May 22nd, 2002, 05:48 PM

Hachomini you are SO LUCKY!

That's great news. I'm jealous.
Oh well, my time will come.
Ten months now since I put a deposit on my S. It's a good place to park $500- though, because if I'd put it in stocks it would probably be worth about $100.
Congrats.

hachomini · May 24th, 2002, 02:34 PM

I am really excited, but the tracking details on miniusa is different from what my dealer tells me....and again, I am having trouble getting in contact with the dealer to ask why some of my options are missing on the miniusa site.
