So after over 5 years of great service and a desire to drive a smart again - my daughter is driving my 5 year old 90,000+ mile one all the time now, with two more drivers to come - I decided to get a new smart.
Well, not really new. It's new to me: a 2006 model smart convertible diesel modified in the BRABUS factory in Germany. This car was leased to a Ferrari dealer in Toronto for 3 years and they kept it in the Ferrari showroom all that time, barely driving it. It has under 350 km on the odometer.
Mercedes-Benz Canada got it back off lease in December and I decided to buy it. Only problem is that I live 4400 km away from Toronto. So my wife and I are flying there next week to pick it up and drive it back through the USA. We will have winter wheels and snow tires on it - the plan is to take I-90/I-94 all the way to Seattle. Maybe one of you will see us on the road!
The car is a diesel of course and the engine is not modified. There were only 4 or 5 of these made for Canada - they're painted all one colour, in the case of my car, all white, they have the BRABUS body kit as well as a leather and Alcantara interior. Of course the car has all the options too.
A friend of mine near Vancouver bought the red version of this same car and it too was at the same Ferrari dealer.....he's having his shipped out west.
Looking forward to getting it!
And here's a photo of the red one my friend bought.
