Dealer calls

[jwight]

This stuff is all over the place; if you wouldn't mind, could you repost your dealer call/e-mail info here so it's all in one place?

I believe so far people have been called in the DC area (Germantown) and in Wisconsin (Milwaukee.) Dealer in Rhode Island has cars coming but hasn't called forum members yet. Anybody else yet?

Thanks!

John

re-posting here. Dealer called this morning to let me know car would be in by end of the month. It is in transit and he will have more information next week. He did have the VIN for me too. I called to get an insurance quote and they are checking to see if they cover the car??? Hmmmm.

and I just tracked my vin and my car has been in Baltimore since last month.

Hey Prash

What was your time stamp?

If the DC people could post their last 4 digits, that would be helpful! I'm in VA with 1184.

Just got off the phone with TJ at the Omaha Smart dealer. He said the cars are at port and would be shipped out and should be to him 16th or 17th.
They are getting 5 for their demos and 13 for us buyers in this shipment.
They have a list of 220 reserves.
He was super helpful and kept asking me if I had questions.
I ask about warrantees. $399 for first additional year/12,000mi and $300 per year and 12k increment there after.
I asked about additional panels and he said shipment of accessories at same time as cars.
Smart financing available but he didn't have rates yet. I'm taking my check book.Don't want to chance a delay.

Yes, I had actually set up a sticky in the Reservations subforum a few days ago, just for this purpose - as a thread to just post the info with little or hopefully not banter, congrats, etc so as to be able to quickly decifer what's going on where. (don't think anyone has used it yet )

the most important tidbits to post are:

smartcenter
reservation date (ie, 3/19) and/or number (1173)
confirmation invite email date (8/27)
confirmation date (date you confirmed, as this will most likely be days or even a week after invite)
