exchange plan
Should you not be satisfied with your approvedused smart for any reason, you are entitled to exchange it at any time within the first 30 days or 500 miles of ownership (whichever comes sooner).
terms and conditions
Should you wish to exchange your car, the selling retailer must be notified in writing within 30 days or 500 miles (whichever is the sooner). The car must be returned to the selling retailer for the exchange. The selling retailer will replace the vehicle with another smart of equal or higher value. If the vehicle is of higher value, you must pay the difference. Should you require a replacement car like the original, the selling retailer will endeavour to replace the vehicle with the most similar one available but is not obliged to provide you with an exact replacement for the original car in terms of colour, specification or mileage. No compensation will be paid by the selling retailer for any modifications made to the originally purchased car during the period it is owned by you (e.g. alloy wheels, hands-free car kit). If the originally purchased car was purchased via a finance agreement, you must pay any costs associated with terminating that agreement and subsequently starting another for the purchase of the replacement car. You are responsible for the repair of any damage caused to the car between the time of its sale and its eventual replacement. Any repair must be completed by a competent repairer and be to smart-agreed standards. You are responsible for all costs relating to the transfer of cherished number plates. The exchange plan is only valid for the first vehicle purchased by you. Any exchange on subsequent vehicles will be because that vehicle has a fault which the retailer is unable to rectify. This exchange plan applies only to the smart products. Your statutory rights are not affected.additional benefits
