i bought a 2000 model s2k with about 27k miles on it a year ago and there are some strnage records on the carfax. the car wasn't titled for the first few months of its life and it shows to be a fleet vehicle and then a dealer vehicle. when i think of a fleet vehicle; i think of Ford selling trucks to a lawn care business. i would assume the dealer vehicle meant the dealership let a Salesman use it as a daily driver for a while but what is up with the fleet vehicle listing?

btw: the car has 37k miles now and has been excellent while i've owned it. the clutch and tranny don't show any signs of a rough past.

holy sh;t!!!!

i left this part out at the bottom of the carfax. apparently i put 48k miles on my car in 7 months!!! it has 37k miles so i'm guessing they meant to enter 36k miles when i got it inspected.

my car history is all screwed up....

I had a fully loaded MY 2000 Mitsu Eclipse GT that was previously owned by Uncle Sam according to carfax. I figured a DEA operative or ???

 

nothing wrong with being fleet car
i think it means the owner took an advantage of the deal with his company vehicle or something
i think he bought a car for the use of company(not true but to take an advantage of some law)

 

It could also be a leased fleet vehicle for a rental car company, but then again not many companies are renting out s2000's.

 

You have to get that corrected or motor vehcile will not give you a clean title for the vehicle if you ever try to sell it.

 

what's up webguy,

it's hatchback from is300.net. did i hear correctly...you are looking at picking up an s2000 as well?

 

sheiiiit what's up son!!

jennifer8 talks about you constantly so you need to come out and visit sometime.

 

rotf, I still haven't seen a pic of that chick. I bet she's fun to hang out w/. I'll be down sometime, I am planning a little x-country trip sometime in Q2 next year.

What's your chosen color combo?
