Thats odd, I wonder how my girlfriend gave me her reservation when I picked up my orphan...
What the??? I sign up first week of Oct '07 (1375) and my dde is April 2009 to June 2009 haven't even got the invite to configure yet.
This person signs up Jan 08 and has a dde of jan 09..... that is so not fair
I signed up october 24th of 07 ,got my configuration notice 02/02/08 ,it came in the spam section of my e-mail ,my car was to be delivered somewhere between july and sept of 08 my number was (1269) 2 days after I got my email ,I was driving an orphan
I have decidednot to excise my right not to buy the car when it comes in.
ok, so let me get this straight; you're NOT exercising your right to NOT buy your car (double negatives), so that would mean you ARE buying your car then? if so, why are you trying to sell your place in line?

i believe it's up to the dealer to decide if you can get on their 'orphan list' without a reservation.
my bet is your dealer doesn't, or didn't at that time, require that you 'reserve' a smart first. if you gave them your girlfriends 'reservation', all you did was give them another 'orphan' to replace the one you bought.

Yes, at the time of pickup, things can be "worked out". But an outright transfer months in advance won't go. Why did you need your girlfriends rezo if you back up an orphan anyway?
I'm thinkin the reservation and build is in the name of the registeree. This build number/ reservation stays with that person until the car is either delivered to this person OR it is CANCELLED with corporate. A dealer can't cancel or transfer a reservation as far as I know.
When our car came in we found we had made an options choice we hadn't intended to. We had to cancel the reservation in our name before the dealer could sell the car to someone else. We then got an orphan the same week from the same dealer with exactly what we wanted. BUT, we had to talk to corporate as regards the cancellation of the original reservation and then THEY sent a check to return our deposit fee. Not the dealer.
