Candy Apple Red Passion

[kdockrey]

I ordered a Red Cabriolet in late June '08 at the Smart Dealer in Beverly Hills. However, I continued to look at competing alternatives and found myself at the Mini dealership in North Hollywood, CA. I discovered that I really did not like the cramped space of the Mini. Across the street and less than a block south of the Mini dealership, I noticed a Smart Center and it had quite a few Smart cars on its lot, which intriqued me.
Thus, I stopped by the Smart Center after the Mini dealership and found an orphaned passion coupe for sale and a used passion for sale. I could not resist and bought the orphaned passion couple which the dealer had customized it with candy apple red paint, matching rims, etc. I love driving it.

Sounds nice - be sure to post up some pictures in your gallery area. We always love to see personalized/customized Smarts.

Used passion for sale at the dealer? Interesting...

They were asking a premium for the used passiont, but I do not recall the amount. It was blue with red interior and had about 1400 miles on it.

I took some pics of it with my Blackberry and posted them. The lighting does not do the color justice.

Love the color. Too bad smart didn't use that color to start with. Congrats!
