Fleet Use
I'm looking at a 2011 GS 14,000 odometer, looks immaculate in the pictures. Its history has Fleet Use. On the CarFax it's been in the following states (listed below) with three listed owners. Are fleet vehicles more suspect than non-fleet/privately owned vehicles, especially moving around this much ?

Have it inspected by a qualified mechanic that YOU trust. Miles are low, car looks good, maybe it was a corporate lease vehicle and some old executive babied it?

'Fleet Use' and 14,000 total miles just don't seem to go well together on a car that's 11 years old.
I'm confused ..

And 3 owners ?
It would be interesting to know the real story on this car.

i found it online and it's far from me. I 've looked at every GS comparable to it listed online for a week and its listed $2k less than all the others most having higher odometer. Like you said something seems strange.

Let’s say you are in the GM Fleet program. Now you have a FAN (fleet account number). You can order passenger cars using the FAN and get the extra perks and discounts that the Fleet account allows. Seems like Corvettes are on the list of cars you can order https://www.gmfleet.com/vehicles#f=t...1000-999999999
Maybe that’s all there is to it. Some CEO wanted a toy and their bean counter used this to save some $$.

As always, I am grateful for the feedback, Thanks fellas. I found another GS I'm looking at but going to talk to a different salesman on this one who may know more about the car. The listing has this "Reported as corporate leased vehicle." and 94 days at this dealership 320 days on CarGurus. Could it be the corporate/Fleet curse as to why it's still sitting there ?

Dunno if that's what happened here, but with 14k miles it certainly wasn't a rental.
