Unhappy So Cal GP Deliveries?

Any one know when those of us who didn't participate in the MTTS Monterey GP delivery can expect to see GPs at our local dealerships? I hear September, but then I hear late October and possibly even November! Is there a way to check for the manifest on the Mini website to see if the cars are actually in transit via ship yet?

Can you tell I am anxious!?!

Go to Cargo Tracking

and click on Auto Cargo. Enter the VIN for your GP and you can see if it's in their system

It seems the remainder of USA GPs will be built around now to the end of month. Shipping (from Germany) will likely be two weeks to east coast and at least a week longer to west coast. If I was waiting I wouldn't expect them to hit west coast dealerships till the end of October.

[based on what I've heard MINI USA folks say, not based on any facts]


Charlie gives the best option - but this will work for you only (a) if you know the VIN, (b) the car is built and ready to ship or shipping and (c) WW are doing the shipping.

If everything is going to be ready by tommorow afternoon; why are they making you wait until thursday?

How many miles does it have on it by the way?

The car has 6 miles on it but iam unsure if it has been for the test run yet as the battery was on charge. Iam collecting on thursday cause iam getting 7 days insurance from 21 sept which takes me up to my renewal date on my current policy 28 sept + the my cash doesnt go in to bank untill over night on the 20 sept.
Plus ive waited 6 months a few more days wont hurt

Okie Doke;

P.S I waited (if you want:only)2 months for my car; And it was ready for collection 3 days before I was able to collect (also had to wait for funds and a cover note) And I can tell you, Those three days HURT!
