Today we're sending you a 2013 Smart ForTwo Brabus Cocoa Edition -- because who doesn't like weird-looking Smart ForTwos?


For $9K, you can get this North Carolina-based car, which has a louder muffler and two small dings but is otherwise pretty much as it came from the factory.

There's not a ton of detail available here, other than that the seller bought it with 5K miles on the clock. So if you're into this kind of thing, you'll have to reach out.

Click here to do so.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I see quite a few when I visit Europe. In France there is another tiny car called Aixam I see a lot of in Paris. These Aixam cars seem smaller than the Smart car.


    I don't think the Smart car did very well in Australia they are few and far between. People would rather buy a Corolla, Mazda3, etc instead.

    These were sold in Canada YEARS earlier, I think 2009 or 2010 but it had another name. Same color and everything.

  • Slavuta Ah, that was Minnesota
  • DungBeetle62 Does the Chevy Nomad count? (for the record, I say the HCD-1 was built... but Mazda built it.)
  • The Oracle It’s possible because some are already doing it - and it comes at a cost. As to whether it is economically feasible to compete in the market with sustainable manufacturing and supply chain practices is another question. AB Volvo (trucks, Penta, Construction) seems to be doing a good job - but it comes with a premium price.
  • The Oracle The good news for Hyundai-Kia is that most of these vehicles are no longer on the roads, limiting their exposure. Just a simple fact that there aren’t many 14-15 year old clunkers around anymore. Already been stolen, wrecked, or blew up the motor.
  • Normie I like that white car! MOAR RIVVETTS!
