Picked up my new red/black/red orphan today!

SubSlr88 · 07-25-2008, 03:35 PM

Got the call last week that an orphaned red/black/red Passion coupe was coming in - asked the Sales Manager to put my name on it - and picked it up today.
Drove 85 miles home and she performed perfectly, had no trouble keeping up with normal traffic flow; got used the transmission in about 3 miles. Biggest problem was I couldn't roll down the windows because of fresh tinting - a real problem at the toll plazas, but just cracked the door open and paid that way. . .
And I love my little red cutie pie!

Congratulations! Your life will now change as others notice and admire your car. Be sure to add in time for each time you take your smart out. You'll be answering a lot of questions.

You're gonna love it.

Print out one of the other pictures you have in your gallery and tell people it does come cheaper if you get the "stripped" model - then show them the picture.

The only two things added was the all-around window tint - a must-have in FL - and paint and fabric protection that has a 7 year warranty that is very comprehensive (it'll make it easier to get the love bugs off!) And the cost for the two was very reasonable.
I'm happy ~ I'm sure that there was a lot of other "stuff" that COULD have been tacked on but this dealer doesn't do that to people; and they're nice to deal with.

I'm guessing you didn't get it from the Tampa dealer...

Welcome to the group. Hope to see you at some Central Florida meetings.

Edit... just looked at your gallery and saw you picked up at Lokey... nice to have another smart in the area.
