2016 and 2017 model years are basically identical as far as I'm aware. Convertible is nice, but I always look at it as just one more thing that could go wrong in the long run. Prices seen a tad high, though, even for a lower mileage Smart. I could be wrong, though...

Mine is a 2016, which wasn't really available with the nav system, so I don't really have any input on that aspect.

Which online website are you looking at?

 

[jwight]

Just my .02, but those prices sound high to me.

Ditto, all those smart cars, are overpriced.

Ok. So I'm not the only one that thought that. Was getting a bit worried there for a second.

Didn't the Smart Centers (or Mercedes dealers) basically offload their inventory of Smarts a hell of a lot cheaper than that when Smart pulled out of the US? And that was on brand new cars.

Check out 2016-17 smart cars prices. On cars.com. It covers them across the country. Varies retail prices.

I own a 2016 Proxy without navigation. Frankly, I don't miss the nav. I use my iPhone via an aftermarket holder that attaches to the center mounting point of the head unit. Bluetooth works for audio, Apple maps for navigation. Charges my phone too. I'm at 30K miles and things are running perfectly. As for your selections, the 2016-17 cars are basically the same. I'd lean toward 2016 Prime or 2017 convertible myself. Just curious though... have you driven a late model Smart car yet?

Those cars should be like $8800- 10500. I'm under water on my 2016 and would lose huge if I dumped her! We only have a short amount before the mother ship cuts the umbilical cord...

I only have 13 payments left, and think my 2016's blue book value is lower than what I still owe on it. Over 91,000 miles don't help, though...

I did the 6 year no interest purchase with $4k down . At 38K miles and only 13 payments remaining. What I owe is far less than its potential value, especially on private sale. I plan to keep it through the 6th year of payments but not certain what I will do after that.

I had a new 08. Bought a new 17 cab. Totally different car. 16 & 17 are about the same. Prices are way too high!!!!

I own a 2017 and love it. That would be by recommendation.

Own 2008 SMART convertible and 2013 SMART both Passion For Two. Bought them used when they were two year old and low mileage paid $9,500/each. The 2008 bought from private party with and extended 5 years warranty and remaining 3 years warranty life. The 2013 bought from a car broker Carlypso. Initially, I was skeptical about convertible vulnerability. Now it is my favorite Tanka Truck, because with the top down, it allows me to transport big long items that I was not able to fit on my daughter SUV. Your quote price is too expensive. I recommend you use Social Media Facebook MarketPlace, or Craigslist and buy directly from owner after careful test drive. I hate car dealers. They are crooks. A hidden secret, SMARTs have the best Heated Arm Rest, my Sweetheart Lap.
