Has anyone ever bought a used fleet car?
Good idea?
It's only a year old, but has 30,000 miles on it and looks to have been maintained by the company (there isn't a service history; the only history on the VIN is it being titled, sold, and moved around dealerships).
Pic unrelated.
I think you'll be lucky if they did a single oil change in those 30k miles
OP here.
Looking at the history, I'm pretty sure it was a test drive car.
It's the highest trim available (common for test drive cars so they can get people to buy it).
Brand new, it was titled as a "corporate fleet" car.
All of the mileage history is recorded at the same dealership (then it gets moved around 2-3 dealers over the next few months).
Would you buy a test drive car?

30k isn't a "test drive" car, generally people just pick one they like to test drive rather than asking the dealership to give them a test drive specific car.
It was likely used as a shuttle or a loaner.
Who here has bought a car for sentimental reasons? Story?
Does your car have a quirk you love?
I will probably end up buying a Twingo for the memes and because poorfag.
Bought a Starlet because my mom used to drive one. Wasn't even the same generation but whatever.
didn't buy one, but fixed mine a couple of times instead of getting a new one (would have been cheaper). It's my first car and i love it, even if it's absolute garbage
my lease is up soon.
im debating on weather or not to buy it it's a 2015 1500 silverado the buyout is about $28,000
any suggestions?

I really am a Chevy guy, but if you get a regular cab I would get a Ford f150 with the 5.0 coyote. It's got more power and mpg than the 5.3 and if you want, you can even get the Ecoboost with is way better the the Chevy v6.
2.7l ecoboost is the best engine on offer from any manufacturer atm and I'm a toyota guy
>>17493870
I can't do it OP
I was like you once, thought American trucks was what I needed
i'm going with a new Toyota truck instead, I don't haul or load any trailers so why would I need a diesel truck?
I'm sticking with Toyota

Cheers cunts
Battery wont hold charge for long, the relay (12 Volt 20/30 0 332 204 150 BOSCH) underneath the drivers side console is clicking making the clock go on and off, light signals on and off, and the temperature and gas gauges move up and down, battery eventually dies completely. Wtf is going on?
Could also be a good idea to say what car this is, and when it happens
>>17493138
Its dead all the time, it only happens when I try to boost the battery with jumper cables but it just drains and dies. 95 Plymouth Neon SOHC 2.0 Litre
>>17493138
It happens when I try to start it with the key without ignition.

God damn, when will they learn not to drive 2x the speed of traffic in between lanes. Nobody is expecting a vehicle to be traveling outside the regular lanes of traffic.

Shit like that happens all the time in my town because impatient fuckers NEED to get to McDonalds .75 seconds faster than everyone else, but usually it doesn't end in curbs getting hit.

What car is this?

>>17490760
RHD Mail Delivery jeep. The postal service used them before the Grumman LLV's.

Are you retarded? Does mom know you are on the internet again?
That'll be $5 plus tip
Tip is optional, and you didn't ask if I needed a window cleaning before you started. I'm not paying for forced service that I wasn't going to buy in the first place.
Now if you will excuse me, two blocks down there is a car wash for $5 that I will be driving through.
Get them to wash your windows then drive off. Easy.
>>17490739
I've never had to deal with this, but I'd like to imagine this would be mfw if I did have to deal with it.
This is why we need self-driving cars
How does a self driving car prevent idiot Chinamen from walking around on the street?
>>17490559
Yeah, because a self driving car is somehow going to know that moron was going to step out in front of it.
