Except for the fact that it states "Warranty existing". Therefore it implies that the car has been titled and the warranty has already started.

I always wonder about these "killer deals" from dealers (or worse, those "we sell premium cars" joints) for current-year cars that are less than a few hundred miles old but have been titled, etc.

i mean, what's the story? is it all about the buyer's financing falling through (and then the buyer being way upside down)? or is it more likely that the particular vehicle is a p.o.s. and he's kissing it bye-bye after a few hundred miles of nightmarish hell?

i'd almost rather buy a year-old car with 5k on it than a "new" used car with 200 mi., but i'm rather suspicious that way...

This one is kind of stripped...no? Not many options, if any.

it is very normal for dealerships to "buy" cars from other dealerships and sell them in their respective regions. Here in southern california AMG cars are very popular but in areas like the mid west they sit around and never sell. So dealerships here buy those cars at or back of cost and then sell the car as a used car to the public. They cars are not traded it but instead sold as new and then driven a tad while they get to their destination.

That car is a great deal if you want a car with no options. No doubt about that.
