I agree with 4-2NV.

I think we need more information before just blindly believing some things.

Reservation system wasn't even open Jan of 07 that I'm aware of.
First you say you didn't have to wait.
Now you say it's not worth it to wait another year?

Plus as mentioned you have Brabus in your profile.

Seems to me like you're just here to stir the pot. Thus far I do not believe anything you have posted. Probably some 12 year old with nothing better to do than see if you can tick off complete strangers across the country. Crawl back into your hole.

I have Read the thread topic probably six times before opening this thread... sure is a BS braggert post in my book

I am not planning on selling but as stated many times before the first $2000 or more over my total costs is a winner..

A $5000 prifit over total "get the car in the drive way" cost... WoW! ZZZeeMa! You are so full of it... grinning butt head... get your arse back in line.... grin

WOW! You must work for KGB or something, cause you figured everything out.... Ah?
I didn't want to go through this BUT if you are interested this is the story....


On Monday the 3rd 2008 I went for a test drive to Atlanta MB dealer, was 1 1/2 hour late (cause of my girlfriend....) came there around 2:30. After driving it for about 20 min we asked when can we purchase one, they told us to get in line and pay $99 for it BUT the sales lady (very nice Alicia Mann) asked me what color do we want.... Well I like black on black with lather... She told me that someone just called (10 min ago) and canceled their reservation (which SHE told me was placed on January 2007) and she has to go upstairs to see what color it is.... well she came back smiling and saying "it is your lucky day" we have one BLACK but it's not leather.... after discussing it with My girlfriend We decided to take it...
Prior the purchase (couple of days) I checked on line (ebay) what Smart are going for... you can see that PPL are selling them for far more than what they pay for it....
I was planning to keep it BUT decided to try to put it on Ebay and see what will happen.... three days through I got about 800 hits and 7 calls about it... ONE OF them was from buyer... YES I SOLD IT!!! he is coming from out of state on Monday to pick it up...
BUT yesterday I took it for wash and gas and feel very bad for selling it cause of the feel of the car, PPL are honking and asking about it and I have to wait for a year to get another one.
that's the story....
If you need my social security Number let me know....

About the Brabus... Before I got mine I didn't know anything about the models which will be available in US and was thinking that I could get Brabus.... that's it.....

If anyone should feel bad its your buyer, particularly if they wind up on this forum and ask if they overpaid. Since I purchased an orphan, my configured smart should be coming soon. I'll take whatever the dealer was going to charge me and your $5K profit. Will that make you feel better?

Do you have a link to your eBay auction?
I did not find one that matched your described circumstances.
