Red Metallic - now or wait? - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

We just got our configuration email on Monday and "ordered" a yellow/black leather cabriolet. Dealer called today to say I can get a red/black cloth cabriolet TODAY. Worth waiting for mine, or should I get the red? Any chance I will be able to trade the red in once the yellow comes?

true. and the red ones are non-metallic so they are the cheaper of the two.

that's right. i was thinking the red was solid. so i think those panels are $1199 for the new set.

don't you mean order a set of yellow panels. And yes, the red panels are metallic painted and would cost more then the yellow. The price difference you save (cloth vs leather , and if he sells the red one to you at MSRP) would about pay for the yellow panels

Just wondering how do you configure on Monday and get offered a car already? Shouldn't somone who configured long ago be offered that car? Just curious.
