Help I ordered the wrong smart

Hi all,

Just got back from trying to pick up our new smart.

The wife hated the Convertible and wants a Coupe instead.

Anyone want to swap?

Hi-spec Convertible in Blue and Silver with Leather,Extra Gauges and Fog Lights swap for a Coupe the same.

Thanks

Jonathan

Take delivery, eBay it for about $2000-$5000 more than you paid for it (watch the current auctions to make sure) and then order another one. Also ask your dealer to put you on their orphan list. You have 30 days to take delivery of your original car while you decide. Just don't try to sell it before you take delivery, smart may cancel your order!

so you actually didn't order the wrong one by mistake, just your (or your wife's) personal preference changed upon seeing it. What did she not like about the 'vert, might I ask?

She probably didn't like the fact that the top opens up
