Who waited longer than me?

I reserved March 30 2007 (config. mid Nov '07) and don't expect my car until mid May. It was just unloaded from the boat in Baltimore. Anyone reserve at the same time or before and not receive a car yet?

That's about the longest I've noticed. While I reserved 8 days after you, I only configured about 6 days before you. I've had my car for 30 days now.

At least you know it's headed your way in a week or two.

saronian, I crossing my fingers, all I know for sure is it was on the boat and the boat docked and discharged in Baltimore, now it's up to the Smartie God to make sure my car makes it from Baltimore to Milwaukee, then the rest is up to me..

Make a spreadsheet with USER NAME, RESERVATION DATE, DELIVERY DATE, DAYS WAITED. Im going to guess that Curtis is the longest wait for the record. However I have a feeling that we go through this process were going to see longer and longer waits with the volume of smart reservations going up and up. Bottom line come late this year you will see people in regular areas waiting 18 months and longer.

i may be a winner

I am a #1181 ...so i think that means I reserved march 23...config in nvember and still do not have it. Smartcenter buckhead told me last week it should be here June 8. I sure hope this little car is worth the wait.

Matt, you beat me! I think since we are not from big metro areas could be the reason, I'm shooting for May 15th for mine but no official word yet. I have not received a 30 day notice or call but I know the car arrived last week in baltimore..

wow, I feel a little better about my situation...after not knowing what was up with mine I bugged my dealer and they said they put in a call to SMART and got mine off the assembly line asap... Funny how you got a 30 day notice and now its past 30 days with nothing and I didn't get a 30 day notice but have confirmation my car in on US soil....SmartUSA really has to get their s#!t together.

matt, you work at a Toyota dealer? I can't believe you arent waiting on the IQ...??
