Besides an oil and filter change a tank of premium gas with some fuel injection cleaner. Just drive it around. The unknown cost of the AC repair should come before any cosmetic spending. Bay Diagnostic auto repair shop in brooklyn could sort it out when you are ready. In the mean time just tape something on the roof glass to keep the sun off you and the interior while you find a source for the shade and drive it around. Let it get use to your driving as well as you get use to its nuances. I am in New York and would love to lend longer term Smart owners eye as you sort your new baby out. It's going to grow on you really fast. Enjoy.

Have your alloy wheels refinished. Clean your foggy head lamp lenses. Take you car to a upholstery shop to have the seats redone. Go to a AC specialist shop for your air conditioning. The sunshade is expensive new.


New seat covers, expensive too…..




I will get to the lamps and the seat also the ac I just got the car abut 5 days ago

Welcome here! Congratulations on your new car purchase. This SMART 2009 looks very cool. I'm happy for you. But as for heat, I understand you perfectly. I think that every driver faces these problems until he buys some car sun shades. In your case, I think it's much worse because the AC doesn't even work. Well, until you fix your AC, I recommend you buy some sunshades. They are at a reasonable price and will help you eliminate this immense heat in the car. A sunshade will keep a comfortable interior temperature so you can comfortably sit in your car without breaking too much sweat. I recommend it from my own experience.
