I'm not looking to take legal action, I just want the latest version of the car when I collect it as new.


Thats not an unreasonable expectation for anyone buying a new car.


If the car was for collection before the new facelift launch date then fine but its not and I wasnt informed of the impending face lift.

Then cancel your order.

2 weeks ago it wasn't in the press so how do you expect the dealer to know for certain there is a new model? If you don't want the car, cancel the order and re-order the new one. Expect to pay more though.

Dealers arent necessarily told in advance of model changes.

Wholly agree with the "expect to pay more though".

I bought a new Cooper S in Jan 18 being delivered Feb 18 and got a great deal on exactly the car i wanted and it was built and delivered in 4 weeks.

Others on the MINi forums held off for the new facelifted model - only to find that list prices had went up by £2,000, delivered times were 10-12 weeks and dealers were reluctant to offer discounts.

ok thanks guys for some of the positive input


I'm waiting on feedback from the dealership and my preference is to cancel and wait for the facelift model.


So fingers crossed

Yes I totally agree with this but can I cancel the order now I've signed to it? Its currently 16+ weeks for delivery

Bear in mind....

• You probably got a better discount being the last of the pre-facelift cars
• Prices may - in fact probably will - be up so you'll pay extra for the car in the first place
• Finance deals might not be as good (often they hold back a while on the best rates) so the finance rate might be up.

Overall your monthly payments could be up ££s.

You wont be the first to do it and you wont be the last.

Find out what the new figures look like though - dont assume you'll get the same discount / finance incentives with the new car.

Also, if you've a trade in, a longer lead time might mean they offer less for it.

16 weeks from now is mid-October. I'd expect the new model to be in full production by then. It's difficult to believe they'll still be building the old one in parallel.
