Is that like a free-range chicken? Confused3
Yes. It's like a free-range chicken, walking along the interstate, trying to change lanes or cross the road, playing chicken with big rigs.
But srsly, this car is good for towing behind an RV, or perhaps mounting sideways on a ramp behind an RV, like how they mount fat-people scooters behind vans. It's also the best golf cart your money can buy.

Thanks OP,
Are other dealers price matching?

UPDATE: I know I shouldn't have called but my local MBenz dealer said they were not participating. The salesmen are probably all hording the Smart cars for themselves.

You will have to sell the smart car just to pay for the first oil change. -No seriously do you know how much an oil change for that car costs!

In case this is a serious question. Answer is -- No.

What they do is sell the car to you at MSRP (most likely). After taxes and tags it is definitely impossible to flip. Note that most new cars are easily sold a couple grand below MSRP.

Quote from DealMayhem :
The key problem with micro cars like Smart and Scion IQ is that they are meant for narrow European streets and relatively short city commute distances. Put them on 2 hour LA commute and several hour freeway driving that most American love doing and they are out of question. I agree that they are great for a Pizza delivery guy.
They are explicitly marketed as city vehicles. The gas mileage is terrible for the size and power, the emissions are the same as any other car at that MPG level, and they aren't close to cheap enough for how little you get. The only selling point is city use and the false image of being environmentally sensitive. My Mazda 3 sedan beats it in MPG (and thus emissions) and is vastly superior in every way for less money than a similarly optioned Smart Fortwo. My father always said that the secret to sales is to market your weaknesses as strengths; the Smart is quite stupid.

You are 100% correct, if people see these obvious factors, maybe their used car price will fall enough to justify a school kid getting one.
