Think with me on this. Nothing party's like a rental which is what your are basically getting when you by a used program car. The previous people are just drivers, not owners. Different mindset. Oil changes......maybe. Tire rotations......Ha. They run them ragged and turn in the keys to pick up another one.
If you put the 1st 20K on it with the intentions of owning you will take care of it.
A lot of truth there. But we just bought a 2012 Malibu earlier this year with less than 20K on the odometer and other than a couple of scratches on the roof, it looked, smelled, and drove like brand new. Yeah, getting a car off of a lease or out of a factory program can be risky but there are good deals out there. Like the one we bought, not all of them on the lots are lease trade-ins.
