VA dealer

I just checked the website for Lindsay Automotive Group and they have a link for the Lindsay Smart Center! They are in Alexandria Virginia.

I only have one post, so I can't add links... but you can go to elindsay.com to find the website

I heard rumors that there may be a dealer around Tysons Corner as well....

I bought my smart car in Tysons Corner on 2/12/08. I posted some photos of the dealership and my car in the gallery.

Both Tyson's and Alexandria are open. Tyson's is on Rte7 with HBL Mercedes; Alexandria is behind the Lindsay Cadillac off Rte7 only 2m. west from King St. Metro; or 395 exit 5/Quaker Lane. Your zip code is the deciding factor for smartUSA to connect you with either one. I haven't found out if it goes according the the quadrants. I'm in SW (Waterfront) and have been assigned to Alexandria.
mkoryd, you must be NW since your profile lists Germantown... where fees are $99; Alexandria $349, Tyson's ?

The base price with metalic panels is $14,635
Dealer's Business License: $24.88 ** Is car dealership license that expensive?
Other Charges: $199.70 ** Huh?
New License: $12.00
Title Tax: $439.05
Dealer Online Systems Filing Fee: $10.00 (pre-printed)
Processing Fee: For Consumer Services: $385.00 (pre-printed)
+ 3% VA TAX ON PRO FEE: $11.55

For a total of $15,717.18 which included the $99 reservation fee knocked off.

I had to write out a check for like $9 additional for the title fee and then received a check in the mail for like $3 for as it seems it was overpaid for the title fee.

Yea... I'm in NW.... Dupont Circle area. I pass a red/black/cabrio while walking to and from the metro... Funny thing is that it's from the Tysons dealership.

I'm going nuts waiting on any news.... I reserved last March (1184).

I'm house-sitting for friends in Arlington right now (as if I don't spend enough time in NoVA as it is...). Last night on the way home, I went by Smart Center Alexandria to look at it.

Wow! That is one large dealership. They have a handfull - maybe 10-12 smarts on their lot right now. I got to see a white passion/silver tridion/black leather. It made my decision for me - no more waivering over colour.

I'm still going to take delivery at Smart Center Germantown - they have a smaller showroom, but the $99 doc fees and friendliness of everyone there are going to keep me a customer. It's nice to know that there are some large dealers popping up, though.

You know, that really stinks about how Lindsay is jacking up the fees and all those charges. I'll probably get them too as they are my closest. I can't afford another $1000 ontop.

And if it's not Lindsay, you'll get Tyson's. Same difference, isn't it?

Lindsay Smartcenter Alexandria is a great place. That's where I picked up my orphan last Saturday. Good folks in sales (Gary Leeman) and Service. I live about 1/2 mile from this dealership.
