This is the super fun fantastically cute Smart Fortwo car - made by Mercedes in France!

Original owner moving out of the country so need to help this much loved car find a new owner. 

Miles per gallon is near 40! Save big on gas with the 8 gallon tank.

It is in much loved condition, no accidents, super reliable, smoke-free and garaged the entire 4 years and used only about half the miles of a car this age. You only need to get the car serviced once per year - no oil changes or other service required - once a year is it, and this car has been serviced yearly at the local Las Vegas Mercedes dealer and given a clean bill of health (records included). 

It has never had any mechanical problems that disabled it, never towed, only one clogged intake valve that caused it to run rough till we drove it to the dealership. We used a trickle charger to keep the battery topped off when travelling (included with purchase). Car software version was upgraded to 2.03 at the dealership for smoother shifting patterns.

This car is exactly 4 years old this month, so even though it was purchased during the 2010 model year, it is a 2009 model because the dealer sold 2009 models as new at that time. Dealer was Smart Center Las Vegas.

Car features the safety cell design with a roll cage surrounding you and 8 air bags for maximum protection, don't let the size fool you - this car is safety rated. Roomy inside, quiet driving, and holds several pieces of large luggage behind the seats. Tall drivers will see it is quite tall and easily seen in traffic - you will get noticed and people will talk to you when you drive this cutie! You can also park it on the street facing the curb as it is only 8 feet long, making a parking space where there was none before.

There is a hard to notice shallow scratch on the passenger side door that probably could be buffed away by a car detailer. Otherwise, no known issues with the car other than normal wear. Runs great in TWO directions - forward AND reverse! Fantastically easy to park and run around town, works great for the Las Vegas desert and AC is cold. 

Transmission is dual mode - you can leave it in automatic mode if you prefer it simple, but if you want a sportier and smoother experience, use the manual shift mode, where you simply tap the stick forward or backwards to change gears, no clutch. So much more fun to drive that way, as well as smoother shifting if you let off the gas a bit before switching gears. Has incredible power and speed for a 3 cylinder gas miser, and does very well on highway drives all the way to Los Angeles and San Diego on cruise control.

The radio was installed by Frys Electronics and can play music from AM/FM plus audio-in for your cell phone (headphone cable included), USB and SDRAM memory sticks.

The license plate registration expires at the end of May so will need to be renewed upon receipt. License plates will come with the car as i have no vehicle to transfer them to.

Includes webbing to keep grocery bags from falling forward behind the seats on a sudden stop

Starting at $1 this Auction has NO RESERVE! I have sold several cars on eBay and it has never let me down yet - thanks bidders!

Payment to be made with a deposit via paypal due 24 hours after auction close, with balance to be paid by bank EFT transfer, money order, cashiers check or wire transfer within 7 days of auction close.

Suzuki testing Grand Vitara replacement that is now forbidden fruit

Sun, 02 Feb 2014

Suzuki might be dead in the US, but its cars are still thriving in many other markets. Aside from the updated SX4 and a slew of promising concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki is getting ready to launch a much-needed replacement for the aged Grand Vitara, and our spy photographers recently caught the compact SUV testing in Sweden.
Judging by these spy shots, the replacement for the current Grand Vitara - it may or may not retain the Grand Vitara name - will take its styling cues from the Suzuki iV-4 Concept displayed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. These cues include the narrow, angular headlights, the sloped D-pillars and we even get a hint of the sculpted rear-wheel arches. We hear that the new Suzuki SUV could go on sale in Europe next year, so we'd expect it to debut later in 2014.

Incentives aid smooth Suzuki wind down

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

American Suzuki is continuing to offer buyers substantial incentives even as the company winds down operations. Those looking to nab a new Suzuki vehicle will find rebates of between $500 and $2,000 and zero-percent financing for up to 72 months as dealers look to liquidate inventory following the automaker's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. The strategy is working so far. Last month saw Suzuki sell a total of 2,224 vehicles, up 22 percent compared to the same time period in 2011. The Japanese manufacturer says it will continue the incentives through December.
Suzuki had around 5,000 units in dealer inventory in the US when it went into bankruptcy protection, with an additional 1,500-1,700 vehicles headed to dealers at that time. The company says it will continue to honor warranties moving forward using its current dealer network. Most of the dealerships will become Suzuki service and parts stores after American Suzuki shutters car sales in the US.

Suzuki recalling 23k GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000 bikes to replace chain adjuster

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Suzuki is known for having a pair of very capable sportbikes in its GSX-R750 and GSXR-1000, but now the Japanese company is recalling 23,073 of them in the US to replace the chain adjuster. Specifically, the campaign affects 2011-2014 model year versions of the 750 and the 2009-2014 1000.
According to documents from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem can occur if riders miss a gear while upshifting. It's possible that the following shift might put enough added strain on the drivetrain to move the rear axle. This can damage the left-side chain adjuster. If there's too much harm done to the part, then the chain could potentially slip off the bike, leaving the powerless bike more vulnerable to a crash.
To fix the problem, Suzuki dealers will "replace the left-side adjuster with an improved part" that will be heat-treated to be stronger. Scroll down to read the full recall report.
