Hello fellow 1176er's. I would have been 1173 but the web site kept hiccuping when I entered my credit card info way back in the spring. I waited until I was at work three days later and it finally worked. Who could have imagined that those three days would make such a difference! Still, its nice to be in good company.

Now my concern is actually getting the car to the dealer in Las Vegas in a timely manner. Our designated dealer, Towbin Auto Group, has not built a stand-alone building for the Smart and as of about a month ago didn't know for certain which salesperson would be in charge of the Smart brand. Since temporary housing still appears not to be allowed, I am wondering where my Red Cabrio will end up. I always figured exceptions would be made to Mr. Penske's dealership rules as the time grew closer; maybe TAG thought the same thing. It is also disconcerting that no dealer shows up in Las Vegas on the recently updated map on the Smart web site. I will happily fly to Phoenix or SoCal to pick up my baby but how will I know where to go? I sure hope the assumed plan of the car going to the next closest dealer actually works.

I'm 1180 and I responded the second I saw the e-mail. Wonder what I was doing that week that I missed it. I started a thread trying to get people to post if they get called and they are higher than 1173. Trying to see if it can accurately predict delivery times better than he said she said calls to the dealers.

Im a 1180 also, but had a hiccup in doing my config, which I did not complete until Oct. 24th. So it will be interesting to see how long it takes to get from the 1173 folks to us at 1180 expect it wont be to Feb. Hopefully we here from the dealerships in the next few days....

I reserved 03-19 before noon. Realized many weeks later the charge card had never been charged. Called smart, they told me they had no record even though I had a reservation number. They told me to try again. Reserved very late April, it worked, confirmed late October.
After closely watching all this for close to a year (well before smart USA's website even went live) I'm interested to watch what people who get their cars think - mileage, quality, freeway abilities, etc. - I can't say I'm sorry to have some breathing room here.

I too, had a hiccup during the registration process (don't remember if I tried on day 1, er ....day 1173), but it had appeared everything went through, but never got a new page indicating the reservation was accepted nor had problems, so figured probably was ok. Weeks later didn't notice my CC had been charged yet, so called SmartUSA and they said they had nothing. About that time the Smart Tour was announced, and since we really didn't need a car, we figured maybe we'd wait until seeing one in person before reserving again. Afterall.....how many people were really going to plunk $99 down to reserve one anyway??
