I think there's quite a bit of a backlog because of so many people wanting it for the 08 plate... I put in my order 2 weeks ago and has only been confirmed for production on 11th March and flagged as urgent (I guess every dealer does this to get it within March if they want the sell before the 1st Quarter. However, anyone wanting to order a Cooper S should make sure it's built post March. The MY2008 Cooper S is coming in with DCS as standard! I put it in as an extra, so mega happy but they put the price up to cover the DCS as standard. Typical .

It's been put down as 14th April to be ready, but I reckon it'll be 1/2 weeks earlier. However, I've got the JCW Aero Kit to go on, so could be an extra day on top of a normal Cooper.

Hope everyone is getting excited .

I'm not sure if i can get excited... I was told i should find out on Saturday if it's been built, and assigned a registration plate... (i was also told that last week), i feel like i'm being given the roun a round! I'm really not that impressed with my Dealers "Customer Service" Skills..

If you aren't happy Shaunie, take it up with the sales manager at the dealer. To be honest, you shouldnt accept anything less than satisfactory. At the end of the day, you want them to be honest. The salesman I'm dealing with directly has been helpful and got back to me with queries within his promise etc. At the end of the day, they shouldn't be giving you false promises.

I agree with tunster... I would ring in and speak to the manager. If he can not give you a definate date when you speak to him tell you would rather take your business elsewhere...

i'll give Wollaston until Saturday (as they promised to call me then), if i dont hear from them, i'll go down and see them, and discuss the matter with the General Manager. Hopefully it wont come to that, and the car will arrive in the next couple of days... fingers x'd...
