Check This out....Now go and put a Turbo on this
Smart Pricing is Here: Mini Car Under $12,000
Smart42500
The tiny car that’s one of the most popular ongoing topics on this blog finally has a price tag: When the Smart ForTwo goes on sale in early 2008 it will start at $11,590 for the base or “pure coupe” — all lower case names here because little letters relate to little cars, we guess. Those come with an automatic transmission but no A/C. For unnaturally cooled air while driving you need to move up to the “passion coupe” for $13,590. For that price you also get power windows, electric heated side mirrors, a CD player, a panoramic roof and alloy wheels. A convertible “passion cabrio” is available for $16,590. Leather heated seats are part of an $850 option package.
All three models feature a miniscule three-cylinder engine with a scant 71 horsepower. There are still no confirmed Smart dealers in the U.S., but the company says to expect that list sometime this fall. The company is taking deposits, however, via its website.

They are selling the hell out of them up here in the Seattle area. You are looking at around 20K to actually drive off the lot with one and that price is going up every day

same here, that's why I picked up a '92 4-door 5spd civic for $350 bucks to DD with.
35mpg vs 14mpg in the truck, and I average (now) $80 bucks a week in the truck, and about $35 a week in the car, so the car will pay for it's self in about 3months, if not earlier. not to mention, they practically pay me to insure the car- it's that damn cheap!

Update:
The car has more than paid for itself. It gets 33mpg highway and 29mpg city. Have not had a single problem with it yet. Just changed the oil a few times and have put almost 15,000 miles on it since purchased.
On another note my truck will be paid off next month. I am about to do a full 100k service on it and fix some cosmetic stuff as well. Looks like the truck will stay in nice shape since it is not driven much anymore.
It was a wise choice for me to buy the beater car.
