That said a thank you to Max and Simon who imediately aranged a service loan car until the other one arrives

So to all of you who will get theirs on Saturday Have a good day .

supa-dupa-cooper · Nov 16th, 2006, 06:07 PM

So why did they arrange a time for you to collect it

Least you can still get around though

oh and welcome to M2

ianj4cko · Nov 16th, 2006, 06:18 PM

The car was supposed ta have arived on monday 12th so they rang every one with a time for collection on the basis that it would be there.

And it took them four days to realise it's not arrived on time? Seems like poor communication, they probably had fingers crossed it would arrive by today as the "latest possible" to prep it in time, but very good of them to give you a car to see you over until it arrives.

It appears that i should have been informed a bit earlier but the sales guy is off for two days !which at the busiest sales week since the launch of the convertible is a bit of a supprise,
but i think your comment about them having their fingers crossed is more to the point .
I can't fault the dealer as it is out of their hands and they dont have an obligation to supply a loan vehicle. I would still recommend them.

Sounds a bit like poppets mis-fortunes....

Perhaps it's just Mellow Yellow cars they're hold back

Oh no! Isn't Poppet collecting this weekend either! Oh dear! Thats a real shame!

ianj4cko · Nov 17th, 2006, 07:04 PM

The latest reason for the car not turning up is because it is in the compound in oxford surrounded by everyone elses and they can't get to it !

Recently I've heard that several hundred cars are delayed, mostly due to this: http://www.mini2.com/forum/2nd-gen-f...ml#post2759727

But I agree with what others have said, I'd rather have my car right and a bit later, than on time with a potential problem in wait.

You'll always run the risk of delays and running fixes with a first of the run car.
