Fascinating insight jbec.keane. Thanks for the post.
I don't think I'd be too chuffed to find out that my new car had as much work done to it as that Mini had. Even although the VPC has to declare significant damage to the dealer, do they have to declare to the customer?

It will depend on the location of you in relation to the VPC, and any additional work that needs to be done on your car. If you get the phone option, that will also be installed at the VPC, which will further delay your shipment to the dealer. Checking through Netstar, the dealer *should* be able to give you a pretty good estimate as to when it will arrive at your dealership. They can also contact the VPC directly to try and get it faster. Cars that are sold are dealt with in a faster manner, but they also want to get a truckload full up to the dealer.
Mine was sitting at the VPC for about three weeks, presumably since it was in the first batch of E's that were to start to be delivered to US dealerships.
