Tampa Dealer

Any updates on if the Smart center is near completion or if the Mercedes dealership has their demo cars available yet?

Just wondering, they told me sometime in March.

The Tampa Mercedes used car section is importing Canadian smarts and selling them as used. The speedometer is in kilometers. I dont know if the car can be legally registered in the US with a speedo in kilometers.

I saw those Pures on Autotrader. Makes me wary to deal with someone that throws a 12k car up for a more than 100% mark up.

Just be patient, the real dealer will be open within walking distance of that place.

I believe I see where it will go. The building was empty and signless last I looked.

The irony is Tiga and I were in there last december asking if they could get their hands on one. They did not know what we were talking about then.

Sarasota and Clearwater are sure to have orphans a plenty by now. Sarasota treated us well, but Clearwater is MUCH closer.

I bought an orphan from sarasota ,Josh was a great salesman ,from what I understand several others have got orphans also

Josh is good people. I wish he was in a closer location to me.

Maybe Ill call the Sarasota and Clearwater dealers and get on the orphan lists.

I wonder how low I could negotiate payments.

I don't think clearwater has many cars yet,sarasota has delivered quite a few orphans,I don't think you will be waiting long

I talked to Dominic today and he said the smart center Tampa Bay would not open until May 1. The service department has not received their software. I expect they do not have their parts inventory either. They will order parts but recommend Lokey in Clearwater since they are open. Lokey is closer than Wilde in Sarasota.
