We got our cooper in july this year.. however, my wife has finally given me the go ahead to order a cabrio

we want it for march 1st next year and my dealer tells me this MIGHT be possible.. is that really the state of play?

i was reading in the paper at the weekend that almost the whole years allocation of UK cabrios is now sold

seems to be the case Mike

mikeythemikey · Aug 9th, 2004, 09:09 AM

jeez, what a git.. im gonna call my dealer today...

do what taz did & ring around dealers - he lives in newcastle but found one at prestons in colne on a 2 month lead time & one down south somewhere on 4 months or so. its a case of striking lucky & finding a dealer with a spare allocation or cancelled order. chances of getting an exact spec match are limited though

I actually want it for march 1st next year, new plate, summer almost around the corner and some time to enjoy our new cooper.

I just emailed the dealer and he wants a 1k deposit.. no chance.. not for 8mths... so im gonna try to find another one that will just take a low deposit order.

I ordered my Cooper Cabrio about a week ago and I have a delivery date of November this year.. Yay! I must have been quite lucky I guess

mikeythemikey · Aug 9th, 2004, 06:30 PM

Just ordered, here is the spec (though it may change about 500 times before next march)

Mini Cooper Cabrio
Cool Blue
Leather GRAVITY Dark Blue
ASC+T
Sports Suspension
Interior trim body colour
Dark Blue Hood
Cockpit Chrono Package
Single CD Player
Radio Boost
Harmon Kardon - Hi-Fi
Chilli Pack
MFSW
TLC

Dealer says I wont loose too much on my car, its only 2mths old, nuts.

dinger · Aug 9th, 2004, 06:43 PM

Nice spec.

I take it they were going to pay you interest on £1000 deposit.

mikeythemikey · Aug 9th, 2004, 06:46 PM

cheers.. i know, 8mths, I still have to stump up 500 quid though - like they wouldnt be able to sell the build slot or even the car.

Wife wants red now.. and so it starts.

dinger · Aug 9th, 2004, 07:48 PM

I think in the end I really got on our dealers nerves as I kept changing the spec of our Cabrio before we got it

still they get good commission for order taking dont they.

mikeythemikey · Aug 9th, 2004, 10:33 PM

Im sure I will

they dont have to do a lot for an order..
