I gave 700 deposit long time ago just to make sure i get mine a little sooner.

Mine is also an orphan with the exact color/options i wanted which will arrive in couple of weeks.

See the first reason i wanted the Smart this year was because i broke up with my girl friend and felt so sad about it and decided ..."what the heck". Lets get a new car.. hoping that will make me feel a little better.
But something came out: I m working on this woman, and i also saw the new Volvo C30

Now what do i do ?

I like the Smart, i test drove it and love it. But buying any new car now will bust my budget and for the next 3 years ill be in the red a little. (that means no girl friend for atleast 2 years.) Unless i can find a super rich girl or something.

So i have to make a decision between getting a new girl friend and getting a new car prematurely.
Girl friend or no Girl friend for the next couple of years, thats the question i should ask myself right now.
I know it sounds very stupid LOL.

Then there is this Volvo C30 i felt in love with. Also the BMW Serie 1
both cars are so nice but will require atleast 3 years saving if i want to buy them cash front.

(my orphan smart will arrive in 2 weeks btw)

1) Buy the smart prematurely (no girl friend for 2 years cuz im gona be a little in the red)
2) Not buying, lose my 700 deposit, try to get some new girl friend (i broke up with my ex few months ago btw)
3) Not buying, lose my 700 deposit, try to get some new girl friend, save up some cash for 3 years straight.. and buy a Volvo C30 or a BMW serie 1


As ya can see, while some of you are arguing about car safety and mpg, me im more concerned about my lifestyle for the next 2 years

What? Girls only cost money if you let them...

My vote:

Get the smart now and sell in 3 years, depreciation won't hit as hard as a 1series or C30. Using the money you saved go buy a used 1 series that already lost half its value.

By then BMW will have released the ///M2, so theres another option ;)

oh man, are you sure ?

All the women i meet cost me tons of money.. and i always try to split 50-50 the bills.

friend of mine told me not to buy the Smart now cuz he beleives i will soon meet some nice expensive woman and i my income isn't high enough to keep both the Smart and the girl happy. Thats his opinion.

Got my Pure from Knoxville Dealer, didn't have to pay $300 deposit, but would have. I must have got mine before they started charging the deposit. Talked to them on Thursday, they called me on Saturday, and I picked it up on Wednesday, 6 days, very nice. Yellow Pure with a/c, radio and alarm. Very nice people, didn't try to add anything extra.
