Hello from Alabama

[Jag413]

Hi everyone. My wife and I are driving up to Atlanta from Mobile Alabama to test drive a Smart Car. We're looking forward to it. Does anyone know what the current wait time is to get one? Thanks

Welcome Jag, I think the wait is anywhere between 18 and 22 months, but you can get on the orphan list and have one sooner.

Welcome and Dan500 answered your question.

I'm about 110 miles east of you. Birmingham should be your assigned dealer once your number would finally come up, some dealers (zones) get the cars quicker than others - once I was assigned to Birmingham my DDE moved up a few months (7/17/08-10/15/08). That being said, the dealer isn't open yet. I made a call to SmartUSA this evening and the girl said she had to get with her supervisor to find out when it opens as her computer told her 2nd quarter and she said 2nd quarter is over. They promised to email or call me with an answer.

This weekend there is a small get together in P-Cola. Should be around 5-7 Smarts there. Let me know if you'd like specifics where it's at.

Jag413 - Welcome to the waiting game. If you chose to remain in the system and configure a car then you will get the prize mentioned by Dan500, or; you could choose what is behind the curtain being held by your dealership and select an Orphan!! Have Fun

Mobile in da house!!!

Ok, I'm done being puerile now.

I live in Mobile and have had my smart for about 6 weeks. I love it. If you want to get a closer look before Atlanta, PM me and we'll talk.

Gathering of smarts in Pensacola? I don't know what they'll do with 7+ smarts there. Let me know details, I need to take Nibbler on a trip longer than 4 miles to keep the engine clean. And I want to see what kind of MPGs I get. Any excuse to drive... any excuse...
