NEW MINI 4 Edinburgh

[dvoodoo]

Hi FOlks
ANy advise on how to go about getting my paws on a new mini apart from waiting 4 months to get one?

[GAJ]

4 months! I only waited 5 weeks!

Have you been to a dealer yet and which one? Dunedin or Eastern? I'm sure it isn't as long a wait as that!

[macblob]

I waited about 3 months for mine, but that was when they were 1st released :D

Try www.autotrader.co.uk you can buy new mini's now if you are willing to travel to get one.:)

[dvoodoo]

I think a trip down the dealer will be greatly needed. So want a Gun metal silver coop s. But insurance is the killer. 25 but 0 no claims. It sucks
Whats the best out of Dunedin and Eastern? Or is it worth heading to one of the other dealers? Hamilton, Perth?

John Clark in dundee always seem to have new and used MINI's in stock

dvdoo - via the main mini site www.mini.co.uk you can get the email addresses and phone numbers of all the central scotland dealers - call or email them all and see what they've got - remeber you have to wait because you can tailor your cars spec in so manu ways to make it individual :)

My mate is collecting his DS MCS next week, he ordered it in November and it has finally arrived!! He's 27 with 0 ncb and has managed to get insurance for about £460!! (elephant.co.uk, but his S is totally standard with no extras!!) He got his from Dunedin even though he lives about 3 minutes from JC's???:eek::D

Just took delievery of a Cooper S after about a 6 week wait from Greg Murray at Eastern - may be worth talking to him!

By the time my Cooper arrives it will be about three months. Ordered it at the start of November 03 and it's due in a couple of weeks. Greg Murray sold me mine as well!

I had to wait a cool 6 months for mine, but then it was ordered way back in march 2001 and I finaly took delivery on the 9th of sept that year.
Well worth the wait.

We got a gunmetal S the week after we signed for it at Morrisons in Kirkcaldy - just so happened they had the one we wanted in stock. Even if we were choosing from scratch we were only quoted a month's wait, that was in September.

Greg Murray - he must be a new guy. Twas Bill & Andrew when I bought mine from Eastern.

Oh, when you say gunmetal - do you mean Dark Silver?

[Tahra]

It was Weefossy who first called dark silver/gunmetal to me....In the context " it was a gunmetal Mini that burned so and so off !" Kindof stuck, but could see why its not the official name !
