We got word that there was a 2007 Smart Car for sale for $1,600. Needless to say, I left the office, and high tailed it to the car lot, where I caught up with mom and a couple of her co-workers. Turns out there were a couple of minor details that were left out... like it was an import that wasn't street legal in the USA (supposedly the upgrades would cost about $6,000), ... the decimal point was misplaced in the asking price, so my check book stayed in my pocket.
BUT, I DID GET TO TAKE IT OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE. The 768cc engine was enough to make the car run, and run well; the tap shift was cool - no clutch, so it's a bit hard to kill the car. It behaves like a standard transmission or with the touch of a button, it switches into automatic mode. Although, it only seats 2, the front seat room was about the same as in a Festiva (and have you heard? Ford is starting up production again for the US small car market - granted it's the Fiesta, not the Festiva, but that will still be a cool car).
The search for a used Smart Car continues...
