Didn't see details other than Mercedes dealership. I was looking for actual encounters with staff and the like. That's why I posted on South.

Also curious about Knoxsville and its people. I am waiting and have been waiting (1173 and cinfigured on Oct 2) for awhile and haven't gotten my car yet. No one seems real concerned except me. Any suggestions?

I stopped by the Knoxville smart dealer today, sat down and talked with Kristen...they just got their third shipment last week (4 smarts)....She gave me a list with prices of all of the maintenance scheldues..I will post later this week when i return home from traveling on business...the 10000 mile maintenance is $207 and change, that includes taxes...she also gave me a blank buyer's order which shows their customer service fee (doc fee) and what it entails...will post that also when I return home...I am #23 on their orphan list, which I hope to receive my configuration before they reach me on the list..
Kristen was willing to answer any question that I asked if she had the info. She did mention that there would be a smart center opening in Nashville later in the year!

Hello everyone,

This is Kristin Gracy, Brand Specialist with smart center Knoxville. We are expecting to receive 21 cars this month and 35 next month. We are currently in the process of calling/emailing customers that smart sent to us to let them know their car's status. We have A LOT of traffic with people coming in to see the cars and ask the same questions and take test drives. We love talking to everyone, but with myself and Laura, the other brand specialist who works part time, we are having difficulty responding to everyone. We are currently adding another brand specialist. I understand everyone's frustration with not getting answers to their question about when their car will be here because as a dealer, we don't know until smart contacts us with the customers information. We are doing our best to respond to requests from smart to send potential customers brochures, schedule test drives, answer questions about their order, servicing needs, prices, models, etc. I think the response far exceeds anything anyone ever expected from these cute little cars and we are adapting to that by adding staff and educating the public. I look forward to getting our photos posted on the gallery and getting to know some of you. I already know Mr. Russ Barnes, my first smart delivery. I was a little nervous going through my first delivery, but he made the process easy and comfortable, thank goodness. Now I'm a pro with 17 deliveries under my belt!

Hello, this is Kristin Gracy from smart center Knoxville. We are currently delivering cars to customers who placed their orders back in March and April 2007. If you placed your order in October, there are about seven months worth of customers ahead of you who are still waiting for their car to arrive.
