TexSmart Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Got the call from Houston North today -- my car is in:when do I want to pick it up? This weekend or next weekend?So, my son and I went to see it at around 6 PM --it's REAL!!!now just have to decide when to pick it up. Quote
MikeT Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Congrats! I assume it came in through Jacksonville. Quote
TexSmart Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Congrats! I assume it came in through Jacksonville.This dealer has sold -- I'm guessing -- 100 cars already.They come in thru Port of Houston -- not sure if there's a Jacksonville connection at all. Quote
TexSmart Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 Well, a little bit sheepish here, but I opted out of my deal --would have loved to have the car but it was family peace overmy steel will. My better half didn't think I needed 3 vehicles all to myself. Somebody is getting a loaded orphan -- sticker was $18700.Never say never -- there may be a better time down the road.I still have my gas hogs. . . Quote

After all this time waiting, hunting, pining for your smart. This is the outcome?U N R E A L! Amazing to me how this happends. Surely the wife must have given you signals about buying it when you reserved.Note to self: "Listen to your dad Tim, Do Not Get Married, Repeat, Do Not Get Married!Im sorry for your loss. Quote
sponge Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 it think it goes both ways. my wife said some to the effect, 'this car is too much fun for just one person, i want one.' of course hers is a fully loaded cabriolet grandstyle. Quote

Im sorry for your loss. Finally, some sympathy!!! thanks man! I was pretty torked for a few days, but believe it when you hear "timing is everything".We've had a string of "bad luck" events starting with a termite infestation at my commercial building, then wife had emergency gall bladder surgery (I got the call "the car was in" her 1st day of recovery), and MIL is in hospital as we speak in between 2 cardio surgeries. Where's my VIOLIN???!!! This all after the best year financially EVER. (Right after turning the car down, sent uncle Sam $50K). The purchase did seem capricious in light of everything else going on. So gotta take it all in stride. But, if you're not married, don't get married -- I'll drink to that! Quote
Guest shegib2005 Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I won't let my husband keep his either, he just bought a new 2008 loaded Cabrio, I'm taking it away from him and giving him my 2005 loaded Cabrio!! Quote
