Same Boat

I ordered on April 7, 2007 and received confirmation in Nov 2007. Since I'm new to this forum, if I am following the numbers right, my last four are 1192.
I was told (I think February) my car was in production and would be here, last of March, first of April (worse case scenario April).
I called to confirm again a couple of weeks ago, and now they have said, end of April, first of May. Said they would call when the car was on the ship.
So it sounds like our deliveries are pretty close together.

 

smitly,
Last week Rumur gave me my VIN number and said my car has been shipped. I was worried as I'm going out of the country at the beginning of May and am hoping it doesn't come in while I'm gone. She said I will be an April delivery. From reading some of the other threads, it appears that our Smarts come from Long Beach via NY shipping line. There were 3 or 4 ships scheduled to arrive in Long Beach between March 23- April 3 (I found this mid posting in the tracking sticky thread). Adding another 2-3 weeks to that will put it at end of April or first of May. Which is what you were told. I'll post as soon as I get my Smart as yours will likely be soon after or possibly same time.

 

Saw you ordered the red with grey...

Mine is red with black.

smart minds think alike in Arizona.

I too will be out of town in middle of April. Hopefully it will be at end of April.

 

Great minds do think alike
I also got the black leather/comfort package. Just put "black" for interior color on profile. It would have been nice to have a few more choices on the interior. I think a light gray leather would have been a really nice contrast and a bit nicer for Arizona. Oh well. Certainly, the interior color wasn't a deal breaker for me.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that our Smarts will be here when we're here to pick them up!

 

Hi All, Picked up my Cabrio 04Apr08. It was ready 20March08. However could not get to the dealer until Apr. My Res. Date was 26Mar07 with a confirmation # of 3473911180...I don't know what part of the # tell the sequence of reservations. It seems alot of us had last 4 #'s of 1180. BTW It's Silver with Blue pannels with comfort pack.... Don't know why I need heated seats. ;-)

 

It is the last 4 that tells you what reservation group your in. So 1180 is correct. Congratulations on getting your car.

 

Glimmer of hope

We have reservation #1184. We got a call back in Feb that we were in the 90day window. Yesterday I checked the online tool and it quoted a much later date. I called 1-800-SMARTUSA who said our paperwork was delivered to the dealer. They could not tell me when, but said that was part of the last phase. So I called Chanlder. They said the car was on one of the ships. She said that once the ship docks it usually takes 7-10 days to get to them. I am crossing my fingers. They have notice that a ship has docked and she will be putting together a list of those individuals and give them a call later today. I have my fingers crossed.

I also got the red with black and the comfort package.

pinger,
I would start getting ready. I'm an 1188 with red/silver passion coupe with comfort package. I got call on Wednesday from Jessica that my car was at the Long Beach Vehicle processing center and would be 7-10 (maybe sooner) for delivery. I'm down to 5-8 days—but whose counting Today I've got my insurance working on quotes, my credit union loan all ready for PO and check pick up etc. I'm so ready to pick it up.

Jessica also mentioned that they are getting transports in almost daily now, so deliveries are picking up. I wouldn't be surprised if you are picking up your vehicle about the same time I am.

 

Hi everyone:

I reserved Nov 10, 2007. Reservation number is 1410. No confirmation as of today. I am waiting semi-patiently. Will be thrilled to get my little car. Figure mine will be a 2009 model. DDE says March 09 - May 09.

 

1189

I am an 1189 and picked mine up on 4/4/08, exactly one year after getting on the list. They had called at the beginning of march and said 60-90 day. Sure enough, 30 days later they called and said it was in.

 

I reserved June 20, 2007 and my wife received a call today that may smart will be in during the week os September 14th to the 18th. which is kind of funny cause at the same time I was on the phone with Chandler smart and the man a spoke with told me I was not on any lists that he had and too call back in two weeks.

 

Reserved May 28, 2007 (I think). #1241. Picked mine up 7/12. Have had it nearly 4 weeks now. Just ordered my plate: POLIN8R (yellow & black, of course). Keep seeing a yellow/silver on the 101).
