Pay it forward... - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

**jwight** · 06-24-2008, 10:11 AM

Just a thought, but I was lucky enough to get a smart, used, from a forum member who offered it at less than sticker price (not to mention taxes and dealer add-ons as it was an orphan originally.) Then was lucky enough to pick up a Radio 10 from another forum member for the cost of shipping. I offered my Radio 9 to another forum member, again for the cost of shipping alone. And finally, I was lucky enough to get a Gominigo front plate bracket as a gift from another forum member.

This is a great community with a lot of cool people as forum members. Please consider "paying it forward" if you have the opportunity.

John.
What a wonderful idea. It is community as well as family. Thanks for the suggestion.

jwight - Great thought!! We all have sat and complained about gouging from the dealer on Orphans and have read the threads on the Greed factor, so this is a chance for all of us to step up and put our money where our mouth is.

Couldn't agree more.

I received a FREE radio10 from cmjars. And in return I gave my radio9 away to Dave Van for free + shipping.

John,
Awesome post, as always. I always try to think of ways to be helpful and to enhance the community. I haven't had anything to give away (other than SWAG from SMART--thanks, SMART), but I do give my time to events, etc. But, this isn't about me--just chiming in to thank you for being a great community member
