Only problem is its one of those Smart 2 seater jobbies, looks cool though, Black with silver lower bits, great leather seats, current runs fine (quick!) on petrol although throws a Fault bleep when switched to LPG.

Its someone I know, was his wifes, but shes got bored with it now and wants something bigger, purely a 'when she goes shopping' point of view.

Hes looking for 2 and a half, but will accept offers around the 2k mark for a quick sale, overall in perfect condition on 2006 year (I think, its got a private plate).

Dont have 2k spare, but could do a deal with Him,  :-\

What they like, much demand, re sellable?, worth much more with the LPG running?, Thoughts please?

Chris.  :-\  :y

I am sure that if Merc could, they would totaly disassociate themselves from the Smart brand.

I got slightly excited by your post.

A 6.3 litre twin turbo Merc for just £2,000.

....and then I read the word 'Smart'.... :'(

Except none of those particular types were ever offered for sale.....so it will still be the delight that is the 3 pot I-3 Mitsubishi engine with a blower.

I reckon it's probably just the regular Smart Fortwo Brabus;

Quote
Nestled up back over the rear axle, the 1.0-litre turbo engine receives added boost pressure and a more free-flowing exhaust, while torque increases from 88bhp to a more muscular 103lb ft at 3500rpm.

[edit] What he said up there..

[edit edit] I just read that quote - "torque increases from 88bhp", I think Autocar need to go back to school ;D

I had a tussle with one of those in the MX5 a couple of years back. It couldn't keep up. Not a prayer. ;D

In fairness, there wasn't a lot in it, in a straight line at low speeds, but, on the bends where I was following, I was backing off in case he put it on its' side in front of me. :o At higher speeds, I guess the shite aerodynamics and the 40BHP deficit really did for the SMART, as it dropped way back. Or maybe the driver was protecting the state of his undies? ;D

It looked absolutely abysmal. ::)

I think the last thing he mentioned was that he might set light to it as it's not been all that reliable recently ;D
