What does this number mean

My reservation number is 0280611405. What exactly does this mean?
Is there a chance that I will see a car in 2008?

Thanks for your help!

My thought exactly; why isn't the "code" a sticky?

You'll definitely see a smart in 2008, probably several. None of them will be yours.

OK, seriously: the number is a convoluted date stamp for when you reserved, which appears to be early November. Realistically, you might get delivery late in 2008, but early 2009 is more likely. There are too many unknowns at this stage to predict with any great certainty.

4:08 pm (and 20 seconds) on the 1405 day(according to Microsoft). The 1405 is the important number. Doubt you will see anything until 2009, but who knows?

Don't worry, though.
You are not alone...There are a huge number of people in line to get smarts.
It'll take a good while for them to be made.

Good things come to those who wait.

(It's what I keep tellin' myself anyway...)

March 19, 2007 was the initial date and represented at 1173 (1173 days from 1/1/2004). You reserved 232 days later. I'm a 1369 and do not feel that confident regarding 2008 model year delivery. I'm counting on a 2009 model delivered late in 2008 that will have factory cruise, NAV, Satellite, Homelink, and the Penske Special Edition colors.

Will the Penske Special Edition colors include a genuine red interior and bodywork?
