I pulled this because my intention was not to make any money off of it, it was to recoup my $99 and give a fellow 6speeder my slot...

I don't need to make any money off of this...

 

Since it only costs $99 as a deposit, how much could you possibly be hoping to make?

 

I hate to burst but smart will match names to the order and will not allow this.

 

And in the pic is a 2006 model. They were imported and was sold for around 30k.

 

isnt it fully refundable deposit?

 

OK, so no one gets it... SO let's just put it behind us... At any rate, someone I know wanted it... Ya'll have a good day..

 

They way I read this is that he'd like to offer the oppurtunity to buy one at list to one of us instead of getting his deposit back and due to the high demand, you might over pay...

 

Thank you... finally someone understands..

 

High demand? Man I hope not, I got my deposit back last month figuring the car was a dud.

 

theyre opening a dealership here in my local MB dealership

 

I heard that Smart has gotten 30,000 reservations...

 

This car is what fat *** Americans need. Traffic congestions, door dings from stupid big trucks, etc.

 

I was super-excited to put my name on the list (I signed up the first day they announced the $99 program last year). All of the specs of the Euro-cars showed 45-55 mpg.

Sadly, the re-worked american model is only showing an EPA estimate of 35mpg, which is horribly pathetic for such a small car. Quite frankly, if 35mpg is the true value, people would be much better off buying a toyota or honda for the same price.

 

I think they will rework it and make it 42mpg My friend has the 2006 model that is a diesel she got from Canada(friend sold to her since you can't import here - BOO ). Hers gets 52-55mpg and it made me wonder why can't they give us that model?

 

The car is a cool car that should be bought for its coolness and not MPG. You can buy a Honda Fit if you need to be practical. Euro cars do better cause they have even less HP. I think around 60HP.
