smart is now also offering UK customers the option to purchase a new fortwo or forfour online, for the ultimate in convenience.

The simple process starts at www.smartcarsonline.co.uk where customers create an account, reserve a car online by placing a £250 holding deposit, and complete a credit application. They can then choose to either collect their new smart from a local retailer or have their car delivered direct to their home.

The online store offers a number of pre-configured models based on the popular prime model line and available with black or white panels and a black tridion cell. There are three payment packages, enabling customers to choose from either a lower monthly payment, a standard offer, or a lower deposit, and they could be on the road from as little as £119 a month.

Once a customer’s credit application has been approved (within 48 hours) the customer will be guided through the simple stages of the buying process. Their contract will be emailed to them and their new car could be with them as quickly as 12 days later.
