Join the queue for new Minis

22 November 2004

Mini buyers face longer waiting lists because demand is continuing to outstrip supply.

An extra 15,000 Minis are being built this year, raising annual production to 190,000 cars, but dealers are still taking orders for them faster than they are coming off the production line.

Waiting times are already as long as six months. Convertible buyers face particularly long delays because it accounts for just 25% of Mini production.

What Car?'s team of mystery shoppers is still unable to find any discounts, despite the fact that the Mini has been on sale since July 2001. Residual values are excellent, with Minis retaining between 66% and 71% of their value after three years depending on the model.
