Ouch! Glad I got my $99 in early!baltimoresun.com 11/24 said:In this case, an impossibly tiny vehicle called the Smart Fortwo that isn't even for sale in the United States until January, but its manufacturer says its limited production is sold out through much of 2008.
...More than 30,000 prospective buyers have made $99 deposits on the Fortwo on Smart's Web site since June 2006.
...Schembri wouldn't give a sales projection for 2008, though analysts have pegged the number at about 20,000. Someone who places a deposit now probably would not receive a car until "the very later part of 2008," he said.
