Are they charging you X amount cents per mile you drive it?
I haven't heard about any mileage charge, they keep telling me I'll get all my money back. Doing the return this morning and will let you know if there is anything funny.

Are you picking up another car today or just back to looking?

I'm back to looking. I brought the '16 Vette down today and requested (and paid) they ship a '15 Boxster here to Tucson. They would give me all my money back today or wait to see what I am doing with the Porsche. If I wait, they can apply the trade-in (my '12 Vette) to the Porsche, saving me $3,184 of sales tax. I opted to wait.

The odd thing is they told me to keep the keys and park the '16 Vette in the general parking lot until we meet again. I was not too crazy about that but I did it.
I stopped at a dealer the other day to look at a used car and someone had come on their lot the night before and cracked some windshields. Today at Carmax there were two police cars because someone took a car out for a 24-hour test drive and never came back!

At my nearest Carmax, their for sale lot is totally <well except for the secure gate....> fenced off from the general parking lot area. I would not feel good about their choice in my car left there. But what are ya gonna do??? They're in charge of the potential transaction/s now.

Yea, I was very surprised they didn't want the car behind the fence. I suppose at this point they feel the car still belongs to me and it is my problem. I didn't have much say.
