Let the Scalping Begin - Portland Style

Up side and down side to higher re-sale...

Get a new Smart for $13K~ $18K and trade/sell in the $20K~23K...good business sense, crafty trading, Smart car buyer

Think about it... G&K has 2 and 3 year olds still in the $25K and up price range...

Getting a new/used very low mileage non-grey Smart in the $20~$25K range is still a good deal

down side... We buy a car for $13~$18K but insurance companies bear the risk of a $23K~$25K valuation, replacement cost... so this could make our premiums higher based on market value

Good point, Fred...
It may be a good idea to insure it for more anyway...

What's your time worth for waiting on ANOTHER new one??

Thanks for the heads up
