Taking Delivery this Saturday

[Smart Trip]

Hi All,
After two months of working with smart center Manhattan, I'll be picking up a white/black passion coupe this Saturday for my cross country road trip:

The car is loaded with all sorts of unnecessary dealer add-ons because it is a floor model, and we were pretty desperate for any car in time for the locked-in dates of our trip. I do like the black wheels, though!

We're hoping our journey goes smoothly and plan to arrive in San Francisco in time for the August 17th Lombard Street photo shoot.

If you live in the NYC Metro area, I highly recommend smart center Manhattan, Elaine Velez in particular.

Wish us luck! - Peter

Good luck Peter! Sounds like an adventure I would enjoy, given the chance to take it.
Congrats on the smart. Hope you weren't gouged too badly on your orphan.

Thanks! I wouldn't say "gouged"...we're paying straight MSRP + Options. So there's no mark-up other than the high cost of the options. Overall, I still think its a good deal given that we were able to get a car in two months.
