Can I get a roll call of those who have purchased their MINI at Mt. View MINI? If so, when did you pick yours up?
Thanks!

sacamano, what's up with the question anyway?

sacamano · Jul 1st, 2003, 08:17 PM

Sorry, been gone. Just asking to learn about your pick-up experience there, ie, what to expect, did they throw in floor mats or any other surprises (given the $1K/$2500 markup)? My car isn't scheduled to arrive until August.

While I've got you two, how long did it take for your car to ship from England through LA up to the Bay area?

Thanks.

actually my wife and i just went into the dealer to look at mini we found that there was a 4 month wait to order one but they had one there that was almost exactly what we wanted so we went home with it

Good for you, romper. They told you that there is a 4 month wait now? Did you want an "S" or a Cooper?

When I put my order in early last month, I got on one of their slots for an August delivery. A little over two months wasn't too bad, IMO.

My MINI was completed in England on June 21st and arrived in California on July 28th. It didn't get to East Bay MINI until August 11th (it sat on the dock for 9 days).

I bought my MCS at Mt.View MINI in July last year. My MCS is nearly 1 year old. Yes, I did pay a mark-up, but I try not to remember this. It took about 6 weeks to get. Still love my MCS!

Nope , they don't throw in floormats... bought my mats from Moss mini. Ask your sales person for a key chain or some smaller priced stuff, I'm sure they'll be nice about that.

I haven't had any bad experiences with the dealer.

Car took about a month after it was on the boat... that was tough waiting and knowing it was finished and on a boat for 4wks.

The service appt time is now ~2wks... early this year it was like a few days to get an appt :-/

If you are NorCal MINIs member, you will get 10% off when you purchase any dealer accessories or parts at EastBay MINI.

So if you need any floormats or sunshade, you should go to Eastbay MINI.

I got mine there.
Went on a 12-16 month wating list at three dealers.
Went into MV Mini a few months later and found this
one on the floor and bought it.
No probs with service/maint department.
