I don't know how workable it would be, but I think something like this would work:
You buy a Smart for 10 grand.
You agree that it will only be serviced at the Smart car dealership for a cheap fee. In fact you buy into it when you buy the car. say another 2 grand. At every 5K miles you show up they do a oil and service change. At 75000 miles you come in, sign up for another 75000 miles, they take the old one, they charge you 5 grand, you get a completely new one from the lot.
Take the one you just got bust it down, refurb it, rebuild it, update it with anything you have to, put it back on the lot.
It seems to me you could set it up, and basically keep people for life with this kind of program. I would be interested in it for a cheap assed commuter car.

Ditto. Good idea.
Then again, I'm trying to figure out a way to justify a Tesla as a "commuter" car that's "environmentally responsible".
Wouldn't be "cheap-assed" by a longshot though.
