Delivery time?
 

Can't wait to get my Mini so I can finally talk about something else than getting my Mini!

Been manufactured, now awaiting shipment. How long should it take to get to my west coast dealer? I get the sense he's telling me what I want to hear, but I'm driving a rental car (costing me a fortune!) whilst I wait for my Mini!

Did you get your Cooper yet? I ordered mine on Oct 1 and the website says 'awaiting transport'.

How long has it been since your ordered? and what stage is your order in?

thanks

RE: Delivery time?
 

"Tracking your Mini" on the Mini website is not very accurate, I discovered. But allow about 2-1/2 weeks after build to cross the pond.

Actually, the dealer receives updates on the progress of your car on, virtually, a daily basis, which are accurate. They should be able to tell you exactly what phase the car is in and the expected arrival date to the distribution center. Allow a couple days there and then it's transportation time to the dealership.....normally less than a week, depending on the dealer location.

All-in-all, you shouldn't need to wait longer than 6-7 weeks from order placement.

Have fun, they're a blast.

En Route on web site?
 

How long does "En Route" phase usually lasts on the MINI web site? My MINI moved from "awaiting transport" to "En Route" today. Just curious...

RE: En Route on web site?
 

Mine's still "en route", think it's been so since the week of October 12th, so about 2 weeks now. I ordered mine the first week of Sept I believe, so I've been waiting a while! I was told about 9-10 weeks from when I placed the order. Naturally my mini dealer has not answered my emails so the website's all I've got to go by...

RE: En Route on web site?
 

Thats too bad (about the dealer not answering). As soon as my status changed to "en route" which was about a week ago, my dealer promptly emailed me to say that it takes about 8-10 days to get to the US (port in South Carolina), then 3-4 more day to get to the dealer, in my case Louisiana.

I ordered my MINI on Oct 1st and anticipate receiving it on November 5th or 6th.

Good Luck!
