The salesperson referred to it as a "program car", which I know theoretically means a car lent to an exec or used for some promotional purpose... but I took it with a grain of salt, since I know low-mileage rentals and lease returns are also often described that way. Maybe she really did mean the former. It sure seemed like a creampuff, but any car with that few miles does when you're used to driving 20 yr old cars with 200K+ mi. > > 03/19/2008 SAINT HELENS, OR 8,208 Dealer Record VEHICLE IN DEALER > > INVENTORY (COLOR REPORTED AS BLUE) > > They've been sitting on it for three months, so it's not worth what they > are asking for it.
