It certainly could have been used in his fleet. It has fairly high miles for a 2011. It might behoove him to pay for a CarFax and post it to the ad if he's certain that it's been accident free.

When I was looking for an S class I found all the "to good to be true" prices were because the car's were used as Taxis. Sometimes this was disclosed.

There is usually zero problem with cars used as limos- many miles in a short period of time, well documented maintenance, professional driver driving defensively and without abrupt maneuvers, acceleration, braking... All good things

Frankly the only downside of limos are the wear/ tear of interior...

Just avoid black cars and you won't end up with a former limo. You get the added benefit of not looking like a limo driver.

Those you can tell easily. Repainted bumpers is usually a dead give away for newer but high mileage cars that they were town limos... I live in New England and personally never buy cars previously registered in ny/ nj as they all are wrecks more or less.
