Actually a Cabrio with all them features is more like 21k with all the taxes and such. It has A LOT of options you can see just by looking at the picture. Mine was 19 and I did not have electric steering, fog lights, nor the comfort package which is pricy by itself.

BTW if I lived in pennsylvania or close and was still in the market I'd go on over and check it...good price on a used car (note all non-exotic cars depreciate once you drive them off the lot)

It looks like it has every option but alarm ($18,715), plus chrome package & trim rings ($519). Which would be $19,234 list. So $16,900 (+$210 for out of state buyers) would be a savings of $2125.

That's a great deal!

I am still waiting on my reserved and it should be here April, talked to dealer last week they have called me three times on orphan cars but not what we wanted. They said they had a couple used Smarts but my reserved unit would be $2000.00 cheaper than the used Smart. I have been buying and selling on ebay for years and was in the car business for 20 years, you might want to make sure your title is not a salvage title on this one. I saw a Smart on ebay not too long ago and it was cheap but it had a salvage title. Just a thought !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should have been a little clearer, you can get a cab for that price before taxes and dealer add-ons.

In most states when you go to get the title transferred they will hit you with sales tax.

Lots of card on Ebay right now that are on there because the owners lost their job and are trying to get out from under loan payments.
