Almost got one.....

Yep, It's a mk2. Hope you don't mind me asking...but what are you paying and what's the mileage etc.

Just going by your previous asks, we don't want you to get fleeced

(btw, the elx on the mk2 is an 8v unlike the mk1 which is 16v )

Well they only would offer me £2,500 for my smart and I managed to get them to do a straight swap. The mileage is 54k.

Looking in my Dads magazine the same car is down as £2,300, so I have lost out there with £200 but oh well.

Im sure I will find out over time I have lost out on more money, but thats life I suppose.

I bought the smart 2 years ago for £5,500 with 25k on the clock and I spent near on the same on it since then. So to me that car is worth £10-11k with 56k on the clock now and I have lost over £7k.

Oh well, I just wanna get my new car and move on from a smart that I have had for 4 years.

I will post some pics once I have it.

P.S I was looking at getting a K&N panel filter for it. Does anyone know which model number I need and how much they are. Think they are around £40-45.

it still looks like a disabled persons car to me.

stereotyping a disabled persons car, please think before you speak

(btw, the elx on the mk2 is an 8v unlike the mk1 which is 16v )

there was the 75ELX(the 1.2 8v) and there was the 90ELX(a 1.6 8v)

:nerner:

but yeah, generally right

Merry Christmas guys,

Well I have the new car now. I collected it on Saturday and so far, Im really pleased with it.

Its doesnt have the acceleration that my smart had, but it mite slow me down abit and give me less road rage haha :yum:

It is a 1.2, so Im guessing its the 8v model. Oh well, Its still a nice car. Would be an ideal car for my girlfriend for when she passes her driving test. Its got a plan blue interior which I really like.

If anyone has a set of sporting wheels taking up space in their garage, then for the right price I could help get rid of them lol

I was looking at getting a K&N panel filter for it. Does anyone know which model number I need and how much they are. Think they are around £40-45. I have found this model number - 33-2197 is this the right one?

Should be a bit cheaper than that probably about £30ish for the paper replacement on that engine it looks like a ring and fits in the Fiat Air box. Definatly stay away from the K&N 57I kits as there absolute s**t on that engine and actually reduce power and just increase noise .
