Hi.

I ordered a new Cooper on March 11th and was told it would available to me by 'mid-to late April,' which works out to be 5 to 7 weeks. I was originally told that it would take 6 to 8 weeks, but after looking at some official looking piece of paper, my advisor (that's what it says on her business card - 'Motoring Advisor,' revised the time frame by one week.

We'll see how long it actually takes. I haven't been this excited about getting a new car in, well, ever!

I was told mine would take approximately 12 weeks to get to me, but I've been hearing SO many people say they got theirs within 6/7 weeks. I ordered February 26, '05 and so far it isn't even actually scheduled for production! They did give me a tentative date of April 14th for production to be complete, so it will have been about 6 weeks from when I ordered it before it even starts making it's way to the states! Boo Hoo!

Boondox · Apr 18th, 2005, 01:55 PM

Threads like this make me very nervous. I see some of those huge waits and think my dealer slipped a fast one on me...then I noticed that most of these comments were posted last year and can only hope that Mini has upped their production capacity in the meantime. Ahem, guess I'll find out in June if the 6-8 week wait time was accurate!

Update: Nugget arrived five weeks after the order was placed...or three whole weeks early!

Dark · May 12th, 2005, 09:23 PM

If you actually forget that the car arrived minus 2 options it arrived 2 weeks early!!

am0eba · May 12th, 2005, 10:16 PM

I haven't read the thread yet - I know: badboy - but I just wanted to say that even though my ship was delayed at sea by a week, I still took delivery earlier than I was cheduled to. South Bay MINI in Torrance, CA came through, with no markup!

(Didn't makle it any easier to endure the wait, FWIW...)

Was told my Mini would arrive week 36 (2005), so that would be 5-9th September! I hope its on time or early, but I don't know what to expect! Days feel like years at the moment though....

......but it will be worth the wait I'm sure!

same again for mini no 3

Wooly · Aug 21st, 2005, 11:36 PM

ive ordered mine and the estimated delivery is due around 15h october

seems such a long way. what are the chances of it coming earlier, really earlier

i live in south east area just on the skirts of london if that has any bearing, might produce them earlier for certain areas.

will it be on a 55 plate btw?

Voodoo · Oct 9th, 2005, 02:47 PM

Ordered Aug. 7, 2005, received October 8, 2005 (east coast USA)

I was told 5 weeks at the time of order, and it came about a week early.
I voted 'on time' based on the OL estimated date of 10/7.

Nimiety · Nov 11th, 2005, 01:19 AM

I was originally told middle to late November, picked it up Nov 10.

StitchMINI · Nov 11th, 2005, 01:56 AM

Ordered June 16, 05. Told it would be 2.5months (end of August) and got it August 13,05. Took 1 month, 28 days.

TheWrks · Feb 23rd, 2006, 02:36 AM

I ordered mine 29th Dec and asked for a April Del' and it came on time ....

LetsMotor06 · Apr 18th, 2006, 08:17 PM

anyway though....I had my 2006 Cooper ordered on the 10th of March. Was given the whole production # for tracking and last week i checked it on-line and it said estimated delivery date 4/16/06
i called the guy at the MINI dealership in Indianapolis and he said it should be that Saturday or Monday when they get it and to go ahead and head up from Nashville, TN. (my grandparents ordered it for me for graduation) and when i called him that following Monday to see if everything was ready, assuming it was there, and he said he will see me in the morning, only to call back an hour later and tell me that the truck hadn't dropped my Cooper off and to check within the next couple of days....called today....nothing.

Senior Prom is this week...

would it be optimistic to believe it will actually make it by Saturday or should i not stay on edge like i have been?

Heather P · Aug 24th, 2006, 07:22 AM

Hi,

Ours has been built a week early and now sits at the dealer as we don't want it until the 2nd September (New Reg).

Ooh exciting! Mine is a week 38 build I think - I really hope it's built early as I need to give my Mini to the dealers on the 15th (well, I don't have to but it's 3 yrs old so I'd have to MOT it etc.) and I really want to have my car in time for my other half's birthday at the end of Sept.

Greenscaile · Sep 22nd, 2007, 02:44 PM

Three weeks early.....

How big is the grin?

minimark62 · Nov 16th, 2007, 01:51 AM

I ordered my MCS on 11/3/07 and it went into production on 11/5/07...by 11/12/07 it was going through QC and at the dock in S. Hampton on 11/13/07. It's now out to sea and on it's way to NY/NJ scheduled to arrive on US soil on11/23/07...If all goes well, Towne BMW Mini should have it by the first week of December and I will be the proud owner of a pure silver - black top Mini Cooper S! For now, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Welcome to MINI2.

Strangely I ordered my MCS on 3rd November 07 too, and likewise it went into production straight away. Happily I have already taken delivery, but I guess it helps when you're on the right side of the pond to where the car is built!

IronMini · Nov 29th, 2007, 11:36 PM

Interesting....

My MINI hit the dock in Fremantle on the 23rd Nov and the dealer (located 20km from the port) can't deliver it to me till 17th Dec
