I "found" this last night while looking at the website of a local dealer.
www.cityauto.co/vehicle/stock/258053
It looked too good to be true. Take a look at the free CarFax. In the short descriptive blurb, this is called a 1 owner car, and indeed, it was only ever registered to 1 owner. But for 11 out of the 15 years this car has "roamed the planet"....it just "floated through the system". After 1999 it was never re-registered, but it did manage to accumulate a few thousand miles every year, and get some kind of maintenance done to it. This morning I started to wonder if maybe it was a "flood damaged" car....but still, wouldn't that show up on CarFax?
Thoughts? opinions?
BTW, I think the "wood" trim is in really bad taste (perhaps it looks better in person?).
Link goes nowhere. http://www.cityauto.com/vehicle/search/258053 is probably closer to accurate but doesn't go to an actual specific listing.
Is this it? http://www.cityauto.com/Vehicle/Stock/258053
I don't see where it says one owner. I see locally owned, but MOST vehicles are locally owned.
Sorry about that, I usually check my web addresses after I post, just to be sure. EvanB. had it right, so I "revised it".
I could have sworn that at some point it said 1 owner...or I jumped to that conclusion after reading the CarFax.
And yeah, "locally owned"appears alot in car ads, I guess the idea is supposed to be that our climate provides a rust-free enviroment(sp?) as opposed to ....say, Nome, Al. But even locally owned is a bit misleading. Look at the string of dealerships where this car "visited" the used car lot.
The carfax says it is a 1 owner vehicle in the summary at the top
Could it be possible is just passed through family members? Like bought by dad, mom drove it for a while, son drove it for a while, etc.?

It could have been used by the dealership as a courtesy car/deliveries or something.
