Looking for a cheap Smart Car?

Chances are, you have already found out about the Smart Car, you might even have seen one or two zipping around your vicinity. They are the attractive little two seater that's been making quite a commotion lately.

The Smart Car is being marketed as The tiniest car on the market. With over one million sold in over 25 countries since 1994, these cars have been fully tested and cleared for American roads. Being built by Daimler/Mercedes, you can be sure that the safety is there. These automobiles did very well from several independent insurance groups for crash-test ratings.

Another unusual characteristic of the Smart Car is it's amazingly little effect on the environment. These automobiles are over ninety-five percent recyclable! Compared to approximately 70 percent for a commonly produced American car. Add together, the superior fuel economy of approximately 40 miles to a gallon of gasoline, and the very low emissions by the economical 3 cylinder engine. It's actually not surprising that these automobile's are acquiring high kudos's by the environmentalist groups.

How much does the Smart Car cost? There are three introductory models for the Smart Car:
The introductory model (a.k.a. the Smart ForTwo Pure) comes in at approximately $12,000. That is pretty inexpensive as far as new car prices go.
The middle of the road model (called the smart ForTwo passion) starts at under $14,000.
The Deluxe model (called the smart ForTwo passion cabrio) goes for under $17,000, including a convertible top.

But because these cars are so fashionable right now, purchasing one could be a bit of a challenge. Most Smart Car dealers have an eight to twelve month backorder delay for new automobiles. And that delay is certain to get longer as increasingly more people are placing orders every day. As of June 2008, there is over 35,000 Smart Cars on order.
