Re: YELLOW 406
When I first saw it I thought it was an ex taxi (some towns have them all in yellow), but the mileage isn't really high enough.
The picture of the seats shows that it's yellow inside the doors too, but I reckon it was a respray.
One of a kind though & I like the comment about not losing it in the car park.

Re: YELLOW 406
when you said yellow , I thought you meant "blaze yellow" at first which a pretty common 306 colour but bright yellow is deffo different .
Is it a good price for the year ? I dont know , more in tune with 306 prices atm

Re: YELLOW 406
why why WHY
i drove a yellow panda and got slagged off (made fun of) all the time in it, id never buy a yellow car again and there is the issue of people hitting eachother saying yellow car no return. Overall yellow is a bad colour for all cars, except a hummer its scary enough to avoid looking stupid in yellow.

Re: YELLOW 406
thats paper bag over your head territory, blowing up isnt a thing id expect to happen to a german car like the smart assuming that since its owned by merc it is german made.

Re: YELLOW 406
They replaced the head under warranty, apparently the early ones had a fault which caused loss of compression!
Not that you'd get much from a 600cc engine in a car, although it did have a turbo

Re: YELLOW 406
i thought the handling of smarts were stodgy wasnt the original mini like a go cart. All based on reviews ive never been in either car, unfortunatley is the case with an original mini.

Re: YELLOW 406
i think the yellow paint is a bigger deterrant, but still a yellow 406 is still a 406 quite a good car. But here is a bad car with a bad colour there is no reason to buy this crap:

Re: YELLOW 406
I think with a few touches including some nice wheels that yellow 406 wouldn't look that bad
