So... a month ago, the company I was working for closed their doors and I've been sending out resumes here and there... and came across a sales position for the smart car. Here are some pics and there are different options etc... What do you think? I'm still getting used to it but am pretty excited to be learning about something new and different!!
I start tomorrow morning!
Please note.... I will not really be "selling" these as most are pre-ordered ahead of time with a $99 reservation online! I do more relationship building and follow-up, test drives and delivery!
Sounds like FUN to me!
The smart fortwo with its small stature provides excellent maneuverability in the city. On the road, its exceptional fuel economy makes it a great commuter vehicle.
The smart fortwo is available in either pure, passion, or BRABUS trims. The pure is solely available in coupe form, while the passion and BRABUS are offered as a coupe or cabriolet. Power comes from a 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine mated to a five-speed automated manual transmission. Standard safety features include electronic stability program, anti-lock brakes, four-airbags, and tridion safety cell.
Here are a couple of links for OTHER uses for the smartcar. These lil babies have quite the following!! :

HAVING READ A FEW COMMENTS
THE BIGGEST SELLING POINT
IS BEING ABLE PARK IN SMALL SPACES
WHAT WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC AROUND KNOW
I never understood the mentality about buying a car to save money. If you have enough to buy a car, you have enough to pay highergasoline prices? What would you rather do? If you by a new car, you do both. Where do you save money?
I too think the vehicle looks like death waiting. Please explain the specs on the safety cell. I'd feel bad if I hit one with my blazer or crown vic.
I guess there would be advantages in owning one, like nose in parking where everyone else would have to park parallel. As the owner of a full size conversion van that I love to drive, I can't see me ever wanting such an automoblie, however with a smile and a wink, you could probly sell anyone a pair of them...lol... I really do hope the new job works out for you !
....Tc....
lol, they are driving those around in europe for years and years already. And no it isnt a death trap (altho getting hit @ full speed by a truck will hurt LOL). But indeed great around the city,
not sure what I think of the car. Around town car? .. I'll ride my bike
gl on your new job
