I just checked the 'Track your MINI' section of the Owner's Lounge on the MINIUSA website, and it looks like the 'estimated production date' entry has been removed.

Mine was 7/11/03, and I really liked being able to see that!! Now it only says 'On Order' Is this a new change or something that happens periodically? Anyone know?

mine is doing the same thing so I called miniusa and they told me that sometimes when the system gets updated that disapeers and will come back later on.

That's good to know. Thanks..

sacamano · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:35 AM

I had the same thing happen (except I posted the issue in the "general discussion" forum -- oops.) Thanks for the feedback.

afdoc · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:24 AM

I too notice the production date was gone...so I called in and got good news. My Mini has now been upgraded to a code 150. Can hardly wait to drive it.

sacamano · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:30 AM

afdoc:

When was your original projected production date?
Thanks.

grauwerks · Jun 20th, 2003, 12:54 AM

originally my production date was july 25, then last week i checked and it had been moved up to july 18! but now, like all others here, the production date is gone all together. maybe i should call mini usa to see if my production date has yet again moved forward! (maybe, but probably not. i can always hope...)

does anyone have the toll free number for mini usa handy? i've seen it around before, but don't remember where...

Grimfool · Jun 20th, 2003, 01:34 AM

1 866 275 6464

grauwerks · Jun 21st, 2003, 03:52 AM

thanx grimfool. i shouldve looked at the FAQ.

i just called and they told me that my order is 'scheduled for production, but hasn't been assigned a production date yet.' this is after i had already been given an estimated production date! they didn't give me a code number or anything else. why are they toying with me like this???

i guess i just shouldn't worry about it. it'll get here eventually. right? right?!?

Grimfool · Jun 21st, 2003, 04:12 AM

Yes I found that it was about 2 weeks before they gave me a scheduled production date on the phone even though the website was showing it. I think you'll have to wait patiently difficult though it is

BartMack · Jun 21st, 2003, 05:54 AM

Hey, I posted this on the General board, but for convenience I'll repost here:

To get the estimated production date...

I found that you can still do this:
Call 1 866 275 6464 (MINIUSA)
Say "VEHICLE PRODUCTION STATUS"
Say "(your production number)"
..and AutomaticBob will tell you when they are planning to build it!

brave1 · Jun 21st, 2003, 07:15 AM

I spoke with John at that number..my schedule production week is still 7-11-03 so I guess that's good news!

afdoc · Jun 21st, 2003, 10:23 AM

My production date was originally 27 June and production started around 18 June. Just checked miniusa and got my Vin #. Still a little wait ahead though.

BartMack · Jun 22nd, 2003, 01:57 AM

afdoc, I think it would be really cool if they are running 7-10 days AHEAD of schedule!!! I see you got a Works S, wow.. that will be an awesome vehicle!

afdoc · Jun 22nd, 2003, 04:27 AM

I've done a lot of reading around here, but haven't seen how long it takes to make a Mini yet. I know the production date they give you is always a Friday and that the goal is to have the car finished by that date. I have seen posts recently that indicated they were at least a few days ahead of schedule.
For me there can be a little down time. I just need mine by the end of August. As my nickname sugests, I'm a doc in the Air Force. I'm moving out to Langley AFB in Hampton, VA late August. For ease of transition I ordered my car from Crown Mini of Richmond, VA. So if all works right it should be sitting there when I show up.
As to the John Cooper Works Kit. Everyone told me if your going to get a new car, get everything you want for it. So, that's what I'm doing. From what I've read, it looks like you need another 1,200 mile break in for the JCW, so it might be cool that I can kill two birds with one stone. The biggest thing is that it appears that the JCW may be in a little short supply, so I'm hoping that that will be installed when I show up.

-BartMack, give MiniUSA a call on the 1st of July. It's likely they'll have you in a code 150 at that time.

Being Stationed in North Dakota, the wait to leave here and for my Mini is killing me!
