changing dealerships

I tried to change dealerships but they said my car needs to be shipped first then change can be made. I want to change to columbus from cleveland since I am closer to dealer in columbus (time of travel) columbus is 5 mile farther for me to drive but on opposite side of city which means no trafic to drive though.

When that happened to me, I called the dealer where I wanted mine delivered. They took care of making the change in the system and the car was delivered to them.

there were probably more orders at the dealership you changed to and that could have been the reason for the DDE change too

I wanted to change my dealership from the one assigned when I configured. I called smart, and they told me I should call back and request the change once I am in the 90 day to delivery window.

Smart's policy must have changed?

After I was notified my car was scheduled to be shipped in May, I called SmartUSA to change the dealer of delivery. I was told it was too late. Since the car was already in the system to be shipped, I could not change dealers.

Now the fact that the dealership I was assigned is owned by Roger Penske might be an extenuating circumstance??????
