Smart For Four - maintenance costs?

[JerryMungo]

I may be buying a For Four 1.5 Passion with low kilos (60k). What does it cost to maintain these things? I guess I'd have to use the local Merc dealer for services and spares while under warranty and perhaps for spares at least indefinitely... but are they expensive to maintain?

Smart has had a lot of financial issues recently.
Also, the ForFour has been discontinued, and I don't see many on the road.
If you getting a bargain, and really like it, then got for it.
Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Good points... I think I'm really wary of not being able to get spares in 5 years time.
