For Sale 53 plate Smart city coupe (fortwo) passion £300

[montytom]

I've just purchased the astra from HMC on here so thought it best to put my smart fortwo on here.

 

Its red in colour(comes up as silver due to colour of tridion shell)

I'd say condition is ok but other people would say it's good.

 

It's quite a high specced little car with heated seats and aircon(its warm.)

 

It has a panoramic roof.

 

It has 2 sets of spare alloys which will come with the car.

 

It has a split in the rear plastic about 4 inches along.

 

It uses approximately 1 litre of oil per 400 miles.

 

It does smell when accelerating aswell but dont know what the smell is.

 

Its MOTd till October and has 1 key fob.

 

Its £30 tax and it's the 700cc engine.

 

It always starts and does he speed limit.

 

Being a smart the gearbox needs time to decide when it should change gear.(they all do this)

 

It has electric windows and also leather steering wheel(rare as has 3 spokes and paddles-same as the brabus)

 

All warning lights go on the go off as they should.

 

I'm wanting £300 for the car. I'm in Plymouth thanks Thomas.

I'd have bought this had it not been at the end of the earth.

Plymouth? Cock....

[purplebargeken]

Sadly Plymouth.......

 

Just thinking if the odd smell and oil loss are connected? 

[cobblers]

Oil usage is usually piston rings apparently, but you can change them from underneath without taking the engine out.

[Minimad5]

This would be perfect for my old man.

As sadly the whole low car + clutch is killing his leg & back.

Probs worth pointing out our M8 TwoBucketeerwrongun is home now, so may be able to help deliver.

I'm actually tempted by this despite the distance.  I know from experience that Tavistock to here is doable in one hit, and although Plymouth is further away as the crow flies, it's exactly the same distance by road because Dartmoor.

 

Probably a good thing it's (presumably) already spoken for, or I'd be packing 15 used £20 notes and 875ml of oil into a bag and looking at train times.

[montytom]

Thankyou everyone a deposit has been paid on the smart car. Thanks again regards Thomas

I was very tempted by this, and i live in Plymouth so could have walked to pick it up! No need for it and no good for the dog or mountain bike though!

Buying a mildly knackered car to drive far too many miles? Haven’t done that for a bit. Shame it looks as though its gone as I’d have been up for that.

They're an automated manual, the clutch is controlled by electronickery. Widely slated, but actually not bad to drive once you get the hang of it and know how the 'box is likely to behave in various situations.

 

Worst case scenario, the paddle shift wheel will see the money back almost in one hit.

Thinking man's Axiam 500 this is.

 

I was once overtaken by one of these on the A12. I was doing 85mph at the time. My brain is still recovering from the episode.

[montytom]

The car is back up for sale due to me finding a fault. I have told the person who paid the deposit and have paid it back straight away.

 

The fault is that it sound like a joint is knocking( only did it 4 times on the way to work) wiggles the wheels and I cannot feel movement. As above back up for sale.

Thanks and apologies Thomas

You might have another chance now Andy. How about day out picking this up?

Don’t tempt me.

[Belfast Gipsy]

Good value and GR8 fun, but sadly 300+ miles away. GLWS

Hadn't seen it was back up for sale

 

If I literally had any spare money at the moment this would be a no brainer. At £300 even if it absolutely flunked the MOT I'd say you'd easily double your money in bits.

 

If anyone is having trouble with insurance then have a chat with MSM - http://www.msminsurance.co.uk/

 

ETA joints that could be knocking on these (and many other cars, I guess...) include TRE's and lower ball joints at the front. Have a look here for further info:
