On The Road Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Finally found a 2016 smart prime in the color we wanted. Metallic brown. Found it in Saint Louis , Mo. Bought it over the phone with the shipping to me included. The Primes are really hard to find. Boy does this 2016 drive better that the 2009, even though we had change the front wheels out on the 2009 and put all same size tires. I am a bit closer to the nose of the rv but have make turns and still have a few inches.

On The Road Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 How true Jack, drove the smart in 35 mph wind today and it did fine. We looked for 9 months, looked at several passions but dw set on prime.

Jim Gell Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Not being able to find a Prime a reasonable distance from us, we settled on a passion the same color as yours. We did not think of buying one sight unseen and having it shipped. Jim 2001 Volvo 770, Detroit 60 Series, Gen 2 Autoshift Passenger assist elevator to enter cab - for when we need it, or sell it?

I make shipping part of the deal, they shipped.
