--- Quote from: "sleeplessparadise" ---I went into a Mercedes dealer last year to enquire about the Smart diesel and was told they are not made for or sold in this country???? Is this no longer the case?
--- End quote ---
I've done my 8 year stint at MB Main Dealer's.......
The Current CDi (Oil Burner) And The New (451) Smart Fortwo (AFAIK) Are Only Available Left Hand Drive, We Are A Specialist, That Means We Want To Sell Smarts, As Opposed To Being Told That We Have To Sell Them.....
CDi's Are Only Available LHD, We Import, Change The Lamps (Headlamps & Tail Lamps) And Sell CDi's, I Currently Only Have One, A 43k kms Passion Cabrio, But I Have Circa 35 Smart In Stock!
Smart Refuse To Comment On The New Smart Fortwo (451) Beig Available RHD, I have £50 Saying NOT! But It Really Doesn't Matter, Drive One And Find Out! With A 15 Minute Software Adaption A CDi Fortwo Will Hit 110mph
Diesel's Hold Their Money Better Too! They Are Genuinely Superb, Anyone That Commutes Should Try One, Why Pay Tony's Crew More Than You Have To!

Dont talk to me about road tax !
All three of ours run out end of this month (well that was good planning )
V8 pick up - £180
V8 P38 - £180
200tdi 90 - £175
Just did them all online - £535.00 :shock:
Could be worse I suppose - the newest one is a 1996 so no huge hikes in the rates

Ssshhhhhh, it only went up a fiver, everyone thinks it's the end of the road for us, don't go causing a fuss or pepole will realise they have been had with their shiney new Euroboxes and we got away with the cost of living again :wink:
Manicminer:
I was asked "You still have your 4x4 then?" the other day.
I said "Why?"
He replied "This 4x4 Tax"
I said "Which 4x4 Tax? I thought it was a Tax on engine size/emissions"
I added "It's only gone up by £5, shame yours has gone up by £15"
You should have seen his face.

Over here in Ireland we are paying the equivalent of about £750 for a 2.5TD landy as it's done on engine size :cry: . The way round it is to tax it as a commercial but that means no rear seats and van sides but brings the cost down to what you are paying in the UK at the moment. Down side is that you then have to run a second car if you want to take passengers anywhere...... although two kids fit nicely on the roofrack!!
..... but before Mr Brown sees this and thinks he's missing a trick :roll: , our petrol is about 30% cheaper and so I reckon it's swings and roundabouts
