Grey Market (Re: What is?)

[Smartforyou]

Just bought 2006 Smart Fortwo. Problems with water in the cabin. Someone has told me I have bought a "Grey Market" Smart. Anyone know what that means?

Welcome, 'Smartforyou',
Check with your nearest smart Dealer. A 450 is considered a "grey market" in the US, but not in Canada, where it's been officially distributed for years.
Your Dealer may help you about the leak. Is this a cabrio?

A grey market or gray market is the trade of a commodity through distribution channels which, while legal, are unofficial, unauthorized, or unintended by the original manufacturer.

Smarts sold prior to official release in the US. Converted models that do not have factory warrentee.

It is "Grey market" predicated upon where "Cornwell" is located ?

Canada or GB. your not "GM". USA you are. I have a 2006 and wouldn't trade it for anything.

PM me or asmartman or Ron Gaus, is you are in the US.

I LOVE my "gray" car but can't find ANYONE to service it!!!
I have a head light out and have found the instructions on changing it difficult to do. I work in Glendale, California but am willing to drive ANYWHERE!!!!
