Get your orphans here

[saronian]

I got a short reply from Todd stating they sell at MSRP and not outside of their area.

Oh well, guess I'll keep waiting.

Yes, the man did ask "Call me for the details.". I don't think he wants to conduct his business here on the forum.

red flag alert red flag alert..."right to add any accessories". that typically means anything and everything available will be loaded onto the car including all of the overpriced super-profit items like lowjack, window tint, fabric protector, truecoat etc.: all the notorious car biz add-on scams. i guess if you really want the car now, you can get it, however, you will have to pay for it. but be prepared to really pay for it.

Are you handling this nationally?

The list is considerably short for the orphans. And you can expect a percentage of cars on each delivery to be orphans so the waiting list is shortened each time we receive them. In addition, some people on the orphan list may be receiving the cars they reserved initially instead of an orphan so those people will come off of the orphan list too.

In my opinion you could have a smart in around 3-4 months if you're not too picky. The new owners of the orphans that have left so far were very surprised to get theirs so quick. And I'm sorry, we do NOT sell to individuals out of the area. Just to clarify that because I have had some anxious people from out of state call me for an orphan.
