we are still on the list for a yellow w/black leather, but that will take at least 90 days and i just couldn't wait. buying experience was very easy. the car is great - sitting in it you have no sense of how small it is. i feel like a rockstar w/the looks i am getting.
How did the dealer decide to choose you to give the orphan to?
I got my orphan simply by mentioning a couple of weeks ago to the dealer that if they start up an orphan list I would like to be on it since it would have been a rather long wait for my preferred ordered one to come up. I think they just went by who talked to them first concerning it. To be honest I think I like what is on it more than the one I had ordered so it worked out very nicely. This was my first full day with my orphan and both of us are very happy. Folks at the dealership were great to work with.
Way to go. I think this orphan thing will make lots of anxious potential owners very happy. My smart center has at least 2 orphans I know of. Can't speak for other dealers but mine is going down the list of reservation holders.

It depends on how the dealer handles them. Some dealers make you put (up to a $1,000) deposit down to be on the orphan list. I guess the dealers can do what they want but, they won't make many friends doing that. My local dealer wants $500.
