There are hundreds of posts on the forum about orphans - but they are cars that were reserved, delivered to the dealer, and then not purchased for some reason. The dealer can then sell them. Different dealers handle their orphans differently. In many (most?) cases they are more expensive, because the dealer can load them up with after market options. They are never going to be cheaper than msrp.

If you want to get on an orphan list, reserve a car at smartusa.com and then call your closest dealer and ask to be put on the orphan list.

I have my orphan for sale, see below. You "may" get an orphan, no guarantee, but if you must have one right away, here is mine...

2008 smart passion for sale
Wife wants a 4 door (Yaris or Fit) with a backseat for the kids for her personal car. I have a smart on order configured the way I want it due Oct-Dec of 08. My black/silver/red passion with PS and guage package is for sale for $19,500 firm. Has 1600 miles, no accidents, and non smoker car. Available in Winston-Salem, NC area.

We both love the smart car, but my wife wants to be practical and have a car she can take the kids with her. Our van will do that, but at 12-13 mpg's city and 22-23 mpg's hwy, we only use it for family outings and moving big items.

the OTHER GR Yellow Smart

Hey Congrats!!

I knew there was another yellow one riding around GR :-) I've had my yellow on silver one for a few months now and I keep getting calls from friends saying they saw me in parts of GR when I wasnt there!
