i'm considering a 03 explorer limited with 34000 miles on it. i pulled the carfax and it showed that the first 1 year and 4 months it was a corporate fleet vehicle(michigan). it aquired 22000 miles during that time. the last 2 years 6 months it has been a personal vehicle(idaho) and aquired only 12000 miles during that time.
my question is whether or not i should be concerned about corporate fleet lease.
thanks in advance for advice.
i have an 02 explorer corp. lease & have had much nicer vehicals. my fault for not checking it out better befor buying it. it was raining the day i bought it & the first day i saw it when dry, i couldn't believe the paint condition. i've had the transmission worked on & the rear end leaked. it now has 72,000 miles on it. i wouldn't buy another lease vehical. in my opinion, the drivers don't give a sh*t because it's not theirs & the corp. puts of repairs because it leaves them short a vehical while it's in the shop.
by the way.....i also got a carfax report on it before buying it. not worth the paper it's printed on. abuse, neglect & many other things are not found on their reports.
