1173 in Atlanta, no e-mail. Left two messages w/ dlr. Nothing yet...so sad. Should have reserved using my sister's address in Milwaukee. Those peeps seem to have it all together. Sigh...

Got the call from West Covina. Said the car will be here next week. No VIN. Will call back with the out-the-door price.

I've been emailing back and forth with Emily at MB of Buckhead. They did get the list today and she verified that I was on it. She said my car was "in transit" and I would have it before the end of the month. Good luck. I'm sure you'll hear soon.

She just emailed again. That was "in transit" from overseas. WTF? I had one of the lowest #'s here. Oh well. I'll let you know if I hear more.

SmartOne,

I had a feeling that the Atlanta customers were going to be shorted here. The SmartUSA website doesn't even have a "dot" for a dealer in GA and on another thread, Kevin at the dlr stated that they should be ready for a "Grand Opening" in March.

Not trying to read too much into it because I'm still awaiting Emily's e-mail/call but I'll be upset of others around the country with 1174 and higher get there cars before we do.

Good luck and hope to see you around Roswell.

SP,

Those quotes are way too expensive unless you're alot younger than I think. I got a quote of $550 (same coverage but $500 ded.)for a full year from GEICO, and we have a lot worse drivers here in DC than in SoCal.
