smart for two car

I've certainly been worse ...
Perhaps I should go back and review file footage. It might help if I has
a touch of accuracy when I speak....

You might give O.J. a call and ask him for sure. I believe he is in Nevada at: Lovelock Correctional. 1200 Prison Rd, Lovelock, NV 89419. That is
about 100 miles NE of Reno on I-80.

A very nice and cheaper then the 500, is the Fiat Panda. They sell them even as 4x4's.

Oh, sorry, did not know Fiat did not sell the Panda in the USA.
But it is a nice little car. The 500 is based on the same base as the Panda. The Panda is more spacious.

I've seen Panda's elsewhere, but they are not available in the USA. :)

Saturn's would make good toads if only GM had kept them alive.

They sold it. I commented to them in Shawnee, "I see you got smart and got a real car" LOL. Paul did say it was frequently needing work and the work
and parts were expensive.

I believe that "Smart" is made by BMW. Your know, if you buy a BMW thinking it's a poor man's Mercedes, you soon will be a poor man!

I'm sure you can figure out how I know that!

$16-21k new Smart pricing is a killer. It can be had with 240Watt JBL sound though. I would think depreciation would be $4-5k first year. For 5k you
can buy a nice Jeep XJ Cherokee. Get the 4 cyl for weight savings if its just to get into town for groceries. Get 4 wheel drive and it won't get stuck
in the muddy camp like Smart. Get a tow strap and in 4 low it can help pull the GMC out. In a couple years it will still be worth exactly--wait for
it---$5k.

Yes, Paul did have some problems with his smart car, largely due to a item that shifted in the car while being towed and knocked the shift lever into gear. This did result in some expensive repairs.
We have had our smart car for nine years now and the only expenses were a new battery and two tires from Walmart. I have driven it in snow and mud with no problems.
Although it is marketed by Mercedes it is actually built in France by German workers and has a Mitsubishi three cylinder 1 Liter engine.

AH HAH! I was thinking of the Mini line that IS made by BMW. Reliability records of the Mini mimic those of BMWs.

Mercedes Benz reliability records (along with those of the Smart) are pretty low as well.

This thread is kinda interesting for an outsider.

In Germany one of the things that people told me they liked about their
Mercedes were the inexpensive parts... Especially compared to Volkswagen
or Audi.

The first Mini build by BMW had a lot of issues in terms of reliability.

So, different countries, different results. Interesting :)

;) .... That were the first builds in the UK Plants ....
(Opening: Proud-Mode)
Now more different types, are build in Born, in the Netherlands, at the VDL Plant.
Even the newer cabrios are scheduled for production there next year.
BMW choose them for their top quality build. (Close: Proud-Mode) .... ;)
