Should I upgrade my smart car?

by Terre
(Garnerville, NY)




I have a Pure model of the fortwo smart car. Got it March of 2010. If I was to upgrade to a Cabriolet, would that be worth it? And how much time should I wait to do it?

I bought my car, not leased. How much is a base Cabriolet hard top?

 You Are the Decision Maker...

Terre... I'm not sure I can answer these questions for you. I don't know anything about your situation or your financial status. Whether it's the right time to buy a new car and what that new car should be is really a very personal decision.

But if you visit this page on smart car models, it'll help you understand the differences between the 3 USA models.

By the way, the Cabriolet is a convertible, so there is no hardtop version. It's a soft, retractable top. The Passion is almost identical to the Cabriolet in appearance, except that it is not a convertible.

To get the latest prices, you really should visit the smartusa.com website. You might also check with your closest smart car dealer, because they might offer trade-in deals specific to their dealerships.
