By no means, will this car retain its value like the mini cooper.
I'm not hating, just being honest with myself.

Bent. No, not a subcompact. The Smart is a Micro Car. Check out the value of old Micro cars.

A vehicle is never an investment. If you look at it that way you will always lose money. No matter how expensive or exotic a car is, I never look at a car as an investment.

Probably be just like when the PT Cruiser came out. There were a lot of ppl that waited for them. Then I had a lady tell me she was offered 10k over the price of what she paid for the car by a guy walking up to her in a parking lot. They are hard to come by and ppl are going to take advantage of that. Especially dealers that are not smart dealers. Heck, one of the ones listed here way over price is a dealer. I would not doubt that it is a trade in or bought directly. Grant it, I looked it up on car fax for heck of it, it says 4 listings for it. That to me is not good at all. So it most likely is used and who knows what is wrong with it.
