If you can find someone to fix LHD smarts it should be okay most dealers will not touch imports?
Possibly thats why there are so many for sale? I would check if GSF stock parts for that model if they do all good!
But good advertising if you park the thing in the right place!

So his choices as a company promo vehicle are:

A Tractor smoke blowing derv that he can drive around his competitors to create a smoke screen

or

A LHD lawnmower that no body wants because no body can fix and is a death trap in an accident, if you don't die when the person in front rolling back on a hill start.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Smarts are a lot safer than the competition

And there are loads of independents who deal with smarts, pattern parts are available and who really takes a 10 year old car to a main dealer?? Especially merc!!

As its for business mate have you thought about leasing a new one? Can be had on 2 year deals for £100 a month Direct from smart
Skoda Octavia VRS DSG (soon!)
Skoda Rapid Spaceback

Plenty of food for thought here.

Jord, yeah I thought about doing that but I'm not sure where I stand RE credit as I've not long become full time self employed  :undecided: and I don't really want an application to be rejected when I could just buy and older one out right....
