Cabriolet owners of Round Rock

For those of you that have gotten your car, I am wondering if you ordered it this year and how long it took.

I have seen some of the Pures and Passions arriving faster then mine, which it is a Cab.

So kind of curious if it is a Cab thing or not.

I ordered Feb 02,

configed Aug 26th and still my DDE says Oct - Dec 08. Not date dates.

Others that might have configured Aug 26th or even later, if you got a date date or have gotten your car, post please. Kind of wondering how the heck they do their deliverys. Seems kind of messed up that cars come out the line all over at real messed up sequence.

Thanks.

Soon to be Cabrio Owner

Dear SmartHHO,
Ordered my Cabrio April of this year and first had a date of Oct - Dec 09. Just got email confirmation in Oct to make any last minute changes. First thought Blk/Blk/Blk would be quick and easy but didn't seem that way. Now that I've done my confirmation and changed to a Met.Gray/Blk/Blk my date has now been bumped to Jan - Mar 09.Wonder if it's a Cabrio issue since I've seen many Pures and Passions also.

Update: Have a pickup date of Dec 30.

DDE is Nov 30 - Jan 30.

From what I can tell, the second month of your DDE and the day that is listed normally is pretty close to your actual pickup date.

Good luck.

I just received my Blue/Black Cabriolet. I placed my order on September 8, 2008 but Smart Center Round Rock received an orphan from their Chandler, AZ sister company just like I ordered. Of course I jumped at the chance to get my Smart Cabriolet this soon. The car is wonderful. I love driving it all around Austin. Yesterday, going to the new Hill Country Galleria, I was followed in by a Red/Silver Samart Car. We both turned and traveled down the main steet. It was like a mini Smart parade.

Congrats on your new orphan. I doubt I would take an orphan at this point. I will wait for my little red.

Picked up mine (black/black/red) in September from Smart Center of Round Rock. Happened to be in the showroom looking for a Cabriolet and they had just gotten one in with some dealer-installed options - Pioneer AVIC-D3 Nav System, chrome package, etc. Fell in love with the car and bought in on the spot. Will post pics this weekend.
Cheers,
Jeff

smartHHO,
Did you get another email with a pick up date? Just wondering how I'll be notified. Since confirmation and configuration email I haven't received any other emails, my only dates are based on the smartusa.com DDE. I've also had chages in those dates since the time of the email for configuration, not that I mind that. Initially DDE stated jan09-mar09 now DDE is Dec 27 08 - Mar 27 09. I've also gotten many notices about orphans in Round Rock but like you, after this wait, what's a little more to get exactly what I ordered. Looking forward to seeing my baby soon!

I only got one email that said my car was 90 days out. I have talked with the dealer and I have a Jan 10th due date. So we shall see. Guess Smart is greedy and wanted that extra $400.

I ordered my Cab 10 Nov 07
Res # 1409
Confirmed 26 Aug 08
Dealer called 12 Oct 08 to confirm build.
Estimated arrival date 21 Nov 08.
Car arrived Jacksonville FL, approximately 15 Nov 08, currently stuck in port awaiting truck transport.
It MIGHT get to San Antonio next week sometime.
If you ordered your Rag Top this year and you get/got it this year,,,, you're livin right!!!
I'm sure as time passes and the Penske Corp. gets better at this, and more orphans get bought, the waiting time for Smart Cars will shorten.
Good Luck to all.
Just my .02
Rich

Oh happy day!

Well, even though I haven't gotten my baby yet, I just got off the phone with Rachael, at the Round Rock Smart Center, and was informed that it looks as if my baby will be delivered at the end of January. What a way to start off the new year Of course this date could still change depending on other possible smart owners or should I say those who choose not to be owners! So the countdown starts!! I feel like an expectant mother!!
