The attractive and sporty Smart ForTwo is revolutionary and well-designed metropolitan transportation. Available in Europe since 1998, an all new Smart ForTwo will be commercially available for the U.S. marketplace by UAG the authorized importer.
Mr. Fisher, of Smart Cars of America adds, At current prices upward of $30,000, everyone must be confident existing sources can implement required obligations before they purchase this unique and highly-desirable vehicle as a gray market purchase.
Roger Penske CEO of United Auto Group Inc., which will distribute the cars said in an interview in Stuttgart, Germany, where DaimlerChrysler presented the new version of the Smart. No incentives will be offered on the car, which will start at about $11,000.00.
In addition Mr. Fisher said, Due to curtailed operating cost, streamlining fixed costs and minimal advertising expenditures we anticipated the Smart will likely sell for less than $15,000 when available in the U.S. and with such a considerable divergence in pricing only special use purchases make sense. Smart Car of America can not ethically or rationally recommend a non-compliant, gray market car with un-tested service and limited after sales care, at 3 times the price of the improved 2008 Smart Fortwo!
He adds Concern lingers regarding costs, after sales service and warranty protection for U.S.-modified versions of the revolutionary Smart Fortwo and assurances that maintenance and sufficient after-sales servicing can be completed throughout the United States. We are not convinced that available sources of gray market dealers constitute a dealer network that is able to ensure this.
Smart Car of America will continue to make information about gray market vehicles publicly available on its regularly-updated website:
www.SmartCarofAmerica.com, and pledges to continue providing consumers and advocates of electric and other alternative vehicles with the very latest and factual information about all things Smart and is taking a no buy approach and a wait and see methodology when it comes to the U.S.-modified versions of the Smart Fortwo.
