lol, blah blah blah blah. Im still waiting for you to tell me what books you authored.

This is just plain wrong.

A dealer buying back a car because the user didn't like it isn't more than a basic wholesale purchase. A 'buy back' ALWAYS has formality (and history). If a manufacturer repurchases the car, that is noted in the history and in most cases will result in a title branding. If it's not branded, it's been purposefully resold in a state that doesn't require it, like TX, but to not disclose it as a manufacture repurchase during its new purchase would be deceptive. What you describe isn't even close to either scenarios. Not liking the seating position etc?,....this bucket is the ENTIRE used car market. Just pick any reason for why a used car is sitting on a lot and that is basically what you just described. Welcome to the used car business and the way it works!

As for your stories about having 400 cars...most people don't need 63 Mercedes types to claim an understanding of the experience. Moreover, you manage to fold this 'look at me' moment into every single response that you provide, along with random thoughts. The responses are often just a bunch of words bundled together in such a way that, if you are a famous writer (another weird victory lap reference), I would suspect your editor is losing their mind every time you turn something over for repair. I personally have to read your responses 3x in an attempt to get the words to make sense.

GTs are being used as 24 hours of Lemons cars? I know MB depreciation is bad, but THAT bad? Jesus.

Please read about the California lemon law. Lots of these cars were bought back for small problems that the dealer couldn’t fix. Many lemon cars poured out of California for this specific reason stated above. The reason there are so many lemon gt and gts cars is the simple fact that the dealers weren’t prepared to work on them, as it is a limited specific platform, which makes it to this day harder to diagnose and repair.
A few years ago a friend was purchasing many lemon cars from California that were branded for simple repairs.

Florida is real bad about issuing new titles.

Actually it is very dangerous to walk into a dealer to innocently look around. Before you know it you’ll be leaving in that new car you couldn’t live without and the dealer will have issued themselves an electronic title for your car (trade). Your paper title you left at home because you are weak is rendered invalid by the newer electronic title. Ask me how I know.

I hope you are doing well and your new Land Rover is enjoyable.

Best regards

Jerry

As I recall, a lot of water damaged cars come from Florida.
Actually they LEAVE Florida on container ships along with stolen cars heading overseas to their new homes.

I hope your new convertible is enjoyable. Just stay away from the curvy roads where Tiger went.

Best regards
