Come on, it's not the end of the world, it's a Delivery Date Estimator. It's intended or implied to have a margin of error. Your date of delivery went from 11/26, to 11/28, to 11/30? I don't mean to sound insensitive, but it's not like they said date of delivery should be 11/26, and then you finally get the car on April 1st. Like others said, step away from it briefly, catch your bearings, and do something fun and productive. Then, when you get the call from the dealer saying the car is there, prepped, and ready for pickup, go reward yourself.

As far as the loan is concerned, my credit union granted a 30 day extension within 10 seconds after I phoned them. Get yourself another lender. If that doesn't work, ask MB Financial what they will offer (their offer beat my credit union's by a quarter point, so I ultimately went with MB).

I do not know about others but my DDE date moved until date of delivery was exactly 30 days after beginning date of the DDE.

Yup, that's pretty much the way it works... And yes, mine did too.

Hang in there a little longer if you can...you'll be happy if you do. I'm driving an orphan now as I wait for the one I ordered and my date has been jumping all over the place, even to the point that the DDE stated it couldn't give me a date after I had a date for 6 mos...and now my original date is back.

As far as getting financing, your smart dealer should give you 30 days "after they call you to pick up the car"...that should be plenty of time to get financing.

Let's us know what you decide...and Good Luck no matter what you do.

On the bright side you just made someone on the orphan list happy. I have had my smart since Jan 21 and love it so much I ordered another one. Your loss.

Myself, I have picked up my first one in Feb. and second one is on order and converted to a Brabus.

~ Nooooooooo! Do Not throw the towel in!!

There are PLENTY of banks that want your business, yeah it sucks to shop around and do the foot work but it is all worth it . . .

A car purchase is never short of its highs and lows, especially a damn waiting list car! I would do it all over again if I had to, that is for sure
