leased vette ????

I was really interested in purchasing CF members car with only 32,000 miles but I found out a leased company owned IT and it was auctioned twice and the owner has owned since about 02/??/07.
WOULD YOU BUY THIS CAR?????????

My '95 was originally leased when it was new.

Don't confuse lease cars with rentals

A good portion of C4's were leased, because that was the fad back then (a little more so than now). When lease companies take the car back (end of lease) they usually auction them off.

My 89 spent almost all of its life as a leased car in the NYC area. I got a clean title and a great car. I agree with the other posts - if everything checks out OK, I don't see any problems with a leased car per se.

If they put out, all is well. If they don't, WTF good are they anyway?

Cars are so much like women that WTF does it reallly matter? As our hero Popeye once said, "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam, I'm Popeye the sailor-man!
