Dealer backing out?

My response would be: grateful the dealer wanted to deliver a car the buyer will be pleased with by taking care of any problems. I think the last thing I want of my smartie (when I get it, duh) is ... Continue

Bumper car or not to Bump Her Car + Manufacturing video of Your smartie

I had mentioned I found suv like bumpers on another site. Well, maybe you don't want them at 200 Euros - plus shipping. But this site has several interesting items that maybe we will see on this side of the ocean some day. http://www.smartsrus.com/srus/136_Stainlesssteelprotect.html Do a cut and paste and enjoy. I also found the link for the manufacturing video and will add it to this blog, but it is on another computer. Here it is: http://www.smart.com/-snm-0135035552-1207898408-0000002721-… Continue

DDE Part 3, or is it 4, 5?

I don't know if anyone is following this blog, or even cares about their DDE, but I care about mine, and fortunately the smartUSA site says check back often as it may change! Well, I do check it often, and you will see why. I know there are many out there reserving today and they are getting DDEs into 2009 up to 18 months out from their reservation. My reservation number is 1205, I reserved 4/20/07 and have been waiting just under a year. I know I have longer to wait because my dealer said so,… Continue

Disappointment - well barely

I reconfigured my car, at the last possible minute instead of anticipating far enough in advance to actually entertain a chance they would be able to meet my request. Well, I anticipated they would meet it anyhow. I thought my DDE had been extended because they were actually going to make the changes. Then my DDE suddenly got much shorter. Reality was smartUSA called today to let me know the car had already been manufactured and was in transit, so the changes couldn't be implemented. How do I… Continue

ALL SMILES!

Shees! You can't help but be entertained by the DDE! If you check my other blog posts, you will see that my DDE has varied, a little but always in the same late April to late July timeframe. You will also know that my dealer called with a delivery date within 90 days, and even that fell into a mid-July timeframe. Well, today's date changed on the DDE. Mr Schembri, Thank You! Delivery between March 3 and June 1!!! Perhaps it will be here sometime in mid-May like I originally anticipated - befo… Continue

DDE fluctuation

I've read on this forum and others that the DDE has ranged up to 120 days. Mine seems to have settled for about a 90 day range, but it seems to change every day! If I hadn't been printing out the page, I might have thought that I was losing my mind, but today the delivery period changed again. Someone at smart must have been reading my posts, because instead of extending a day because another day has passed, the entry day stayed the same and the exit day DROPPED! Now is April 27 - July 25, 200… Continue
