Offer still valid, problem is stock.

I believe the last batch of stock coming in June/July. Its no longer at
40k discount but will be 34k however its for a 2006 batch. Our model is
2005 made hence 40k. Think of it as a built in depreciation. Very similar
to Chevrolet and Mitsu 2005 stocks. Its still a bargain but please make
sure you know what Smart Forfour is all about and what not. If you want
relax, lazy, soul-less drive, forget the Smart. If you want power, great
handling, raw, engaging, with EXCELLENT fuel efficiency, this is your
car. BTW, the Honda Jazz/City IDSI and VTEC does not even come close with
the fuel consumption we getting.

DC is not bringing anymore. So if you really want them, get your name in.

We get our car from Mofaz Damansara. Call Alex at 0122321008 since they
are only one so far in MY with the remaining stock. I have went to CCB
and SKS, they were a bit notforthcming to me especially when they no
longer have the stock and keep me hanging. I was told they have to get
the stock from Mofaz anyway.

Only Mofaz have the test model. But I was told that even the show model
was sold off. I doubt you can see any more test model. Its sold like hot
cake so they unlikely to have any test model. DC was surprised of the
response as well.

Zero unit left from the last batch. Supposively more coming June/July.

Before you inquire further, you need to ask yourself this question:

Are you a car driver person or car owner kinda of person? Are you
pampered car driver? Do you like easy going car?

If you are not a car driver, and pampered, and like easy going car, then
forget the forfour. You will be disappointed! Really! Serious!!

I mean the engine note is growling, the exhaust note is singing to you,
the chassis and steering is telling you constantly on the road condition,
begging you to rev and push her harder and harder. You get a more sound
intrusion compare to the run of the mill 1.6/1.8, not because the engine
is loud, the SMART have much lesser noise insulation. But as your pushing
the car, you will enjoy it as its provide the sound and physical
sensation to you..... All the active safety gadget ie ABS, ASC (accel
skid control), ESP, will kicks in to allow you to drive more "fun-ly".

Plus its not a car for those who drive and forget. True SMART driver
suffer withdrawal syndrome when they unable to drive their car for more
than 48hrs... hahahahhahahhaa

Give a call to Alex/Mofaz in case he may have a new test unit. If you
wait for the new batch arrived, its prolly all allocated for.

BTW, did I tell you that despite we drive very spiritedly, we still get
15km/L with ease. Heck on my usual office route/LDP/Sg Besi, I get 17km/l
with ease.

I don't have the exact details but this is how the overall breakdown.

The 1.5 after 40k for 2005 stock is 76K+. Coupled with the Multifunction
Steering, and Softtip(paddle shift), another 1.3K so that is 78K. OTR
with insurance come to 79.5k. These 2 option already fixed and you can't
chose not to have it since its CBU.

Non negotiable given that its 40k off.

Do not get the 1.3L as the power is lesser for about the same fuel
consumption. Also 1.3L does not have the 2 option. Also the rim is
different but same size. The 1.5L sound system is much better and come
with subwoofer and 6 speakers. Very good for a stock system.

The 2006 incoming batch supposively only have 34K discount instead of
40K. Still a bargain in my opinion.
