one hard choice

i had the 2 options a used 2009 passion with fogs and gauges red with silver and red interior used with 110 miles only at 9.42% interest 2nd choice is a new smart white passion with nothing except drl's at 4.2% interest. on paper both cars are pretty much the same after 5 years.

what i ordered is white with black tridon and red interior fogs and pods.

So i took advantage of my express and save 500.00 and took home a brad new white passion. but no fogs and pods, will get them soon even thou they cost more. My finance lady said she will sell the pods and fogs parts only at cost. so i took the car home today yyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

after a year and a month i own one, but havent driven it yet my friend dove it home today and he was following me home.ill drive it tonight when the kids are asleep. we bought 2 passion me and my friend but his car had to be dealer traded

congrats. the first car you described (red/silver w/ red interior + pods and fogs) is my personal favorite combo (2nd fav is metalic blue/silver + pods + leather interior)... but what you drove away with ain't bad either.

the real question is...why didnt you drive your smart home and have your friend drive your other car?

I had the same choice accept I got a 2009 Pure with 7,200 miles at 9% it was cheaper than a new one at 4.2% Pure or Passion. I paid $11,999 with AC. The seller wanted $999 but took my offer for $550 (he was local). Love the wheels on the passion, I do not care about power windows but might upgrade to Remus muffler. Tell everyone how you like it after you drive it and good luck!

I have a E36 3 series, and I have to agree.. I love driving it, but after driving the smart, it's not QUITE as fun...depends on the environment though!
