Location: South East England - canvey island
Sell Price: £1,349.99
Model: Smart ForTwo     Year: 2001     Mileage: 76,000 miles

Description:

I brought this car in march 2013, i had a mecades c36 amg but loss of job forced me to sell her as i couldn't afford to run her, hence the dawning of the smart car pulse semi-auto.
I brought her with 70,000 (give or take a few miles) and i brought this car after looking at loads because of the re-built engine at 69k. i have done just under 5k in a year and all that mileage is to and from work. i do a 45mile round trip, but i don't use it everyday as i have a bike to.
Starts first time with no smoke or crap from exhaust, no warning lights and idles perfectly, since re-build the car has not been revved above 3,500 before gear change, there is no need, and i don't need her dieing on me at the side of the road.

Running costs
Road tax. £30 for the year.
Fuel. full tank around £23 will get you around 210 miles, this is fact i have tested it, that works out about 58-62 mpg ish
Tyres. i had one on the front cost £20. happy days.


Mechanically sound, runs very smooth and the semi-auto box changes smoothly, she had an oil change at 72,000 and again at 74,000. Im very specific about this for three reasons, 1. its got new internals 2. smart cars need new oil more than other cars, and 3. i look after my stuff, i believe if you change the life blood of an engine it will last for ever. New brakes on front around 300 miles ago.

Please remember she is 13 years old so there is small marks and digs, but she has never let me down, starts first time and has cost me next to nothing in a year. this car would be perfect for someone who has just passed, or a to and from work.
I will be sad to see her go and have been second guessing myself because she is reliable, but now i have a better job i am looking for something a bit bigger.

Good Points:

5000 miles on re-built engine.
two oil changes in 5000
last service 1000 ago
cheap to run
New front brakes 300 miles ago

Bad Points:

(Please see pictures)
Some staining on the seats with some wear.
Scratch to driver side door.
Scratch to driver side rear quarter.
Damaged rear wheel arch PLASTIC ARCH ONLY no stuctual (I have repaired this and it went trough the mot with it so its all good, a replacement second hand is about £50, i will take this into account once the car is brought. i.e. i will deduct £50)

cant think of anything else, but if you have any questions please ask, im open to offers so give it a go and see, thanks for looking and have a good day.

Viewing welcome.
