    There is 72292 on it as we speak. Ideal world, i'd love to get over 5500 for it, but i haven't really gotten around to pricing it properly. And i'm open to sensible offers.
    Just through the nct a month ago, didn't miss a beat.

    I think €4950 Is a fair price for it. Be prepared to take 4.5 or a little under for it, and you should shift it. They're a decent car, but the mileage is a little high on it.

    +1, its a very cool car. Mercedes built mid-mounted roadster thats cheap to run and insure. What not to like? I know the gearbox could be better but hey, no car is perfect.

    Never thought of it like that.
    I'll be honest, i know next to nothing about them.

    They are a girls car tho. Whatever about the Boxster, those Smart Coupe's are for women! What you need is a car like a Yorkie bar. Big, and chunky, and not for girls!

    Nonsense! There is no way any woman worth her salt could fit her weekend bag in there (6 changes of clothes and 5 pairs of shoes) . She'd needs something bigger like a Hyundai Coupe. I don't know too many women who care where the engine is mounted either.

    The Bimmer is nice, but, I don't know, I just can't settle on them.

    Get into one for a couple of days and you're f*cked, Meaning, you'll never drive anything else again. :D I avoided Beemers until I was 40 - cos everyone who drove one was a prat. :rolleyes: Well, now I am that prat. And I love it. 323ci or bigger is my advice.

    I pulled up beside one on the Longmile Road yesterday and there were two guys in it. The first thing i thought were they're either gay, or car salemen on a test drive. :D

    Its the kind of car you'd buy for your missus just so you could get the odd spin in the weekends out of it, without actually telling anyone you own a Smart Coupe..

    If anybody is interested I have dropped the price on my GTV from €6200 to €5350 as I have my eye on a few replacements.

    Funny you should say that, a Range Rover looks a lot like a Yorkie bar and we all know who drives them...

    I've only very rarely seen a man driving a Range Rover. Or a brunette, for that matter.

    only a madman would opt out of buying a Lotus Elise because it may perhaps look like a smart roadster (which it doesn't).

    and anyway, what the hell does it matter what is a "womans" car? its bullsh1t, the Boxster S is a superb piece of kit, as it the Lotus


    and besides, everyone knows that a real womans car is a 1.9TDI Audi A4 complete with Quattro kit and RS4 badges, odds are next time you see one it will have an orange skinned, yellow haired, massive sunglasses wearing female at the wheel! ;):D :p
