I'm an 1180 ... and I see that people are getting their cars before me with numbers higher than me (at my dealer - Universal) ...
Is there some trick to actually getting your car???

we have the same issue here in the midwest and probably everywhere. we've been speculating that your DDE 'may' be tied to your Zip Code. it would make sense that Smart would like to see these cars spread out as much as possible.
for instance, i live in Indy and 'reserved' on 3/16/08 (1536) and have NOT 'configured' yet, but someone in a small town in northern Indiana reserved later (1541) and had been 'invited' to 'configured' in less than a week.
all we can do is wait it out OR buy something else. as for me, i'll either wait it out or grab up an orphan.
