Ends Monday, Sept 17, 9pm EST. 5 day listing only. Proudly listing my 2006 Smart Fortwo Passion cdi turbo-diesel. Absolutely everything works on the car. It is definitely more then capable of doing a cross country trip. This car has only 21,080 miles and therefore makes the car highly sought after. Most of the Smart diesel's I've sold on here have many many more miles, so this is a truly unique opportunity to purchase a very much like new car. The car is for sale locally, and therefore seller reserves the right to cancel this listing at any time. In addition, I do use the vehicle as a daily driver, so mileage may increase slightly during the auction. There are just a few things that make this car unique and one of only about 50 or so here in the United States. It is powered by a Mercedes engineered turbo diesel that is well known for lasting hundreds of thousands of miles. This euro-spec version has been in production since 1998 and has been proven dependable. I can easily achieve 55 to 60 mpg and hits speeds of 75+ comfortably on the freeways. The transmission has a select switch for either Automatic or Tiptronic (no clutch manual). Unlike the 2nd generation US models, it also has 6 speeds instead of the 5. Having disclosed that the car is a grey market car, please check your DMV to ensure it will title in your state. I have a clear Ohio title and will pass it on to the buyer. In addition to Ohio, I'm aware of these Smart cdi's in Florida, Tennessee, Iowa, Indiana, Colorado, Arizona, Michigan, and Kentucky. If you live in a state not listed, please check with your DMV or local title office to find out the procedures for titling gray market cars in your state. If you happen to live in a state that does not allow for this car (like California for example), please contact me first before getting too discouraged. I have read online of certain legal ways to get this car possibly through. Also, if financing the car, ensure your lender will finance it without a "blue book" value or NADA. About this car specifically, The car is the passion model, thus the flagship model of the Fortwo line. The air conditioning works just as it did when new and blows cold. It does have the panoramic glass roof with sliding sun shield. Other features are power windows and locks. It is a keyless entry with 2 keys. Also has heated seats and heater block for easy winter time starting. Tires are like new and are on the upgraded premium wheels. The car is located halfway between Columbus and Cleveland Ohio in the very small town of Loudonville. However I travel once a week to Harrisburg, PA and so can show the car to prospective buyers in either location. I will gladly show the car and allow test drives but please contact me well in advance first. Also, being retired military, I do have a bit of free time to deliver the car providing my expenses are covered (hotel, food, return airfare and I'll pick up the fuel *grin). If you wish me to provide this, contact me first before bidding to get an estimate. I will deliver the car within 14 days, however the car still needs to be paid in full within 72 hours, so keep this in mind if you are not coming to get the car immediately following the auction. As I mentioned, car must be paid in full within 72 hours. Accepted forms of payment are cash (in person of course) and wire transfer only. I do not accept paypal (although you do need an account to bid on the car). For absolutely any questions or to arrange for a test drive, please call614-498-03607am to 11:00pm EST.

I mistakenly identified this car as having heated seats for which it does not. I had sold another one prior to this one that did and simply confused the two.On Sep-17-12 at 04:51:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Another update (final day).... I'm on the road delivering a Smart car to central Florida. However, I should be able to answer any questions you may have with my smart phone, so please feel free to ask away or just leave a number and I'll return the call when I'm at a stop. Rob
