SMART - forTwo (2004)
Discover the enduring charm of the SMART forTwo from 2004—a city‑ready web‑cam of an icon that still captivates on‑street wanderers and collectors alike. Though it was launched over a decade ago, the vehicle’s austere styling, handcrafted interior, and spirited driving dynamics continue to be a point of interest for enthusiasts searching for the next classic economic car. For anyone exploring the market, it’s important to know that the SMART forTwo price can range dramatically based on mileage, condition, ownership history, and regional demand. Below you’ll find an in‑depth look at what factors shape a 2004 model’s value and why it remains a smart choice for budget‑conscious travelers.

- First year: 15‑20% drop in value compared with the new‑car price due to the inherent “initial dip.”
- Year two: an additional 5‑8% decrease, mostly reflecting accelerated wear once the first year “miss‑health” has passed.
- Year five: the car retains roughly 35‑45% of its original cost in good condition, an impressive figure within the compact segment.
- Beyond five years: each subsequent year sees a steadier decline of about 2‑3%, as usage history takes centre stage.
Comparatively, this depreciation curve sits well above the average of similar sub‑compact cars such as the BMW I 3 or Toyota i‑Space, affirming the SMART forTwo’s “steady‑value” reputation. The company’s quoted 2004 models benefited from its reputation as a cult‑classic, which often pockets a
