Price drop on Smart cars??

I was told by a mechanic that smart was going to drop their price on cars by $5,000... I sincerely doubt it. He couldn't tell me where he heard it as he couldn't remember. My guess is he was looking at a stripped down copy of a smart.

Unfortunately I hate to say it.......

..........but that mechanic is on crack.

Ain't gonna happen. Seems more and more mechanics are becoming druggies. My cousins have a nice little shop that my dad, grandfather, and uncles opened 20+ years ago. A few months ago my uncle died and in his estate was the Corvette my dad bought new back in 1969. My father and I offered up a few grand for the car and heard nothing. Then we heard a rumor it sold for $1600. Last weekend we saw a friend at a show and he told us about the deal he just got, a 1969 Corvette for $200! My dad's old car. Seems like they needed drug money.

(the rumor I've heard)

The price won't take a dive like $5k.

I was told by a mechanic that oil wells will be sold buy one get one free pretty soon...

Hmmm, that would mean either Darin or Bryce told me that

The smart in the US is at rock bottom price already--the US is the cheapest place in the world to get a Smart, even compared to Europe where they don't have to be shipped very far.
