I Am The Worst Car Shopper Ever.

Imagine how a car they will only use for 1 year will be treated.

I have definately seen WRXs go for 14-15k on ebay. Yes and dealers do overcharge for their cars. Me and my dad were car shopping and we just ended up buying a new car because it was like a $1000 difference between the 2 and one had 40k miles on it.

Are you sure they wern't just doing that to get you to buy the new car?

I would never buy a car off ebay. Unless I can examine it in person, I wouldn't even consider the car.

You find local cars on ebay, then go look at them :)
If they give you any BS about not being available or somthing you know what they're up too :)

sometimes they list demos in their program cars, but mostly it consists of fleet returns. mostly from car rental (or car hire for you :) ) places. they get new cars every year so when the new ones come in the give the 1 year old cars back to the manuf.


my mom had a toyota corolla she bought as a progarm car. drove it for 10 years and it ran like a top the whole time. them toyotas are something else.

Depends. Most of the < 12K ones are the Executive/Corporate Employee use cars. Company cars more or less. Most often never titled at all. So they qualify as new cars. And most often taken care of by the Company fleet maintenance guys so you can pull the record as its all in the Company data base. The ones close to 30 can be rental fleet stuff. But most of them are sold by the rental fleets themselves. They make pretty good money selling them themselves. You won't see many of those at a dealer as a Program car these days if at all. All of the real company cars are the Program cars with even lower mileage than rental fleets sell them at. Never over like 18K. And these are sold at auction to that Automotive companies dealesr only. You can't bid on them nor can any other dealers of any kind. Just that company can. Like Ford has a Dealers program car auction for its dealers... etc. Well maintained and ussually plenty of warranty left. And new car finance ability too. Because they have never been titled.

Get a used 4Runner. With like 75k miles, they are like 8500.
