Welcome to MINI2.

Do a search for 'waiting times' this has been discussed many times

Thanks, I was only wondering due to being told by the delaer firstly it would only take 3 months... that would have been to the start of december, I have read a few posts and see that if they run out of their allocation then they wouldnt be any left. Iam now into my 5th month of waiting for a MC just really wanted to see if any1 else have had a similar problem when ordering their MC.

Thanks again

was at the dealer yesterday, 2 month wait for a cooper or 3 month for a cooper s, 5 months is a hell of a wait!

Have you dicussed with the dealer why your wait has gone from 3 to 5 months and counting? What was their reason?

Well, the mini has been made and got deilvered to doncaster where at the moment all i can see it doing is sitting in a compound collecting dust. It has been made took to doncaster to be delivered again to chester where iam picking it up. The dealership has said that they have no control over what cars get delivered on the day

Must admit it does seem a very long to me too.

I ordered mine on October 31st and it will be at the dealers next week so thats 11 weeks. I then only have to wait a few more days for the prep.

Hope you don't have to wait too much longer - my wait has killed me let alone how you must be feeling. Welcome to Mini2!

You have to remeber that demand went up at the end of Septemner when the Italian Job
came out. At this poing waiting lists seem to move from Mid December to late January.

I was fortunate, ordered my Cooper at the end of October '03and it was delivered end of November '03. It just happenbed that when I was looking to order that the dealer had had a cancellation that was not built yet. Was able to spec it how I wanted. That was also the dealer in Chester, thought they were excellent. Could not find fault with them from ordering the car to delivery.

[keith1609]

dont get me wrong the dealers in chester are superb i cant find a fault but i think something else should be in place to cope with the high demand of minis to be delivered to each dealership perhaps?

Ordered my Cooper at the start of September 03 and was told 26 January 04. It seems there is a chance that I could get it slightly earlier, 23/24th I've been told. Hope so, want the car now!

I ordered my Mini in early December at Doncaster.. Am finally picking it up today.. Yahoo..
I could have had it last month but it was decided to puch back and get 04 compliance plates. Cant complain though.

[keith1609]
