I found out today that my new Mini (Status 1200 earlier this week) & due to be built next week, has inexplicably slipped back to status 1100.

I'm really not happy about this.

I did some searching online and found a pre registered Mini, with similar spec (different colour, no VDC, but with additional Panoramic Sunroof & Comfort Access), so I sent the ad to my dealer and threatened to pull out of the deal and buy that one.

Cue a major panic by my sales rep and a call to her Manager, who has now emailed Munich to demand an explanation and try to get the build date returned to next week.

I'm expecting a (satisfactory) reply tomorrow!

Not happy!

Will keep my fingers crossed!! Didn't think it was possible to slip back a status

Good on you for getting into the dealership like that though. Sometimes a threat is the only way to get a result. Hope it gets them in gear!

Hoping you get a good result tomorrow Andy. You know how I feel about it. If I was closer I'd be marching on Park Lane and kicking butt for you!!

Just looked again at the Mini I saw today and it does have VDC! Higher spec than mine.......so so tempted!

Sorry to hear that Andy - I can't really say anything else I know exactly how you are feeling - but if that were to happen to me again I don't think I could take it...

Goody luck

Really not good news let's hope you get sorted one way or the other

 

[andyross37]

Kind of debating a colour change now......white silver is really nice. Volcanic Orange has really grown on me and thunder grey was my original first choice......

I have to say, if there's one available now, with a spec you'd be really happy with, then it might be worth another look! As long as the price is right too...

I'd be much happier if this came with my car!
