same here, cant wait to try the car out after the break in

I finally get to join a delivery group (after switching dealers). I'm in for a longer roadtrip, but better than getting mine in May or June!

I suppose we're going to have to start a "Can't wait till February" thread for the Feb. delivery group hehehehe

Sejanus-I know I am going to get sh*t from you and many others for this one, but I ordered from Niello. My reason being I am able to get the car in 3 months time having to pay the $995.00 protection pkg. mark-up err. I figured at least at Niello I get an overpriced wax jod&scotchguard + overpriced floor mats I e-mailed and called almost all the dealerships in california except the one in san diego which all of them had 1000-2000 dollar mark ups on the Cooper to get it in 3 months and you get nothing for those markups either. Then there was East Bay (which is an awesome dealership) but had far to long of a wait for my needs. I need the car for my last yr of college in SoCal and the spring semester starts in Jan. So I needed the car ASAP, otherwise I would of waited and payed at MSRP. Actually, I have had no trouble so far, and have actually gotten very good service. I ordered the car through Eva and she has been very helpful, upfront and honest with me. I just hope this kind of service from Niello continues all the way to the end when I get to drive my baby home.

Nah, no grief from me. I don't like their policy, but heck if you need a car and are willing to pay the extra go for it. Actually, my big beef was that they wouldn't let me order a custom car. I gather they've changed that policy? Anyway, if you need any directions, help, etc, (ride from the airport), whatever, when you come up to get your car feel free to call on me. By the what are you getting?

[digitalpussi]

Hey Sejanus,

Thanx for understanding Yeah they had to of changed their policy because the car is customized to my specifications. I had to drop some options due to the 995.00 mark up, but this will be my first car so I am just happy that I am getting a Mini in the first place
This is what I ended up getting.

Mini Cooper
Chrome line bumper inserts
CR/W
CVT
Sports pkg.
White Star rims
Tartan red interior
multifunction steering wheel

Options I had to dump
Auto Ac
OnBoard Comp.
Xenons

I can't wait to break her in from Sacramento to Laguna hills..hehehe

Thanks for your offer btw

[thepilo]

EW/W MCS With Premium Package and Fog Lights for MSRP. am dieing to get it... will be my 4th car Had a Mazda RX7, then a Geo Tracker caus the Mazda died, then got what I got now a Jeep Grand cherokee Lorado. can't wait to get back to the manual sports car..

Dang girl that's my car! You got the car Niello wouldn't let me order. Option for option it is identical except that I got the OnBoard Computer and the Parking Distance Control. Otherwise, color, red interior, CVT, sports, chrome, MFSW, etc all the same. Let me complement you on your excellent taste in MINIs.

[digitalpussi]

Woah! Thats cool! I am surprised more people don't go for the tartan red interior (nice to see someone else has the same taste as me) btw how is that tartan red interior? Do you have any pix of it? Sorry to hear Niello wouldn't let you order the car you wanted, that's totally lame on their part Especially since now their policy has changed, I suppose all the complaints to their dealership did help in possibly making them more complient to the buyers needs. I have had zero trouble from them so far *keeps fingers crossed* Also, how do you like the CVT?


I love red can't ya tell?
