How long until DDE activates?

I've been enjoying my smart for five weeks. No serious problems to report.

I put in a reservation for my next smart the same day I took delivery, July 12, 2008.
The DDE so far says, "Your vehicle delivery date cannot be estimated at this time. Please continue to check the Delivery Date Estimator from time to time for updated information."

Does anyone know approximately how long it takes between making reservation and getting some kind of feedback from the DDE?

i believe it will only 'activate' once you fall within the 18 month window to delivery.

sorry, you're at least 19 months out right now.....

So, it is now approximately 20 months between reservation and delivery? That's alright, I was thinking 2010 model year ... will just have to wait a while to get feedback from DDE.

Who the heck knows?

My DDE went from Nov 08 to Jan 09 to the little fella arriving next week which is about 10 months after the reservation rather than 18 months.

Anyone who can accurately predict delivery should be investing heavily in the stock market, doing wildcat oil drilling, and spending their afternoons at the track .

DDE not working

Not true! My last DDE was July- September. I ordered mine 15 months ago. It just stopped working. I'm expecting a call / e-mail anytime now.

If you don't have a DDE date yet, add 18 months to today and your further out.
