"It was originally registered as a corporate lease vehicle. The leasing company actually owned this vehicle and collected payments from a company, like a bank or firm, until the vehicle was sold or the lease expired. These vehicles are typically used for business purposes. " lease vehicles are sometimes abused yea?
and it has a clean title. got a carfax on it

Don't buy corporate, rental car, or auto.

not all lease car is abuse...it was use for business purpose lik u say..there is a limit for mileage on a lease car per year soo u dont hav to worry bout abuse and the car normally get fix or repair by the dealer..if i say somthign wrong plz correct me...i think the max u should pay for it is 8 to 9g...shouldnt b more then that i hope...

Is leaseing really that bad? i know rentals are but it wasnt a rental
yea well i want an auto because the car isnt just for me

[Ichi]

Yea lease vehicles get free repairs from dealer so it didnt pass up any check up dates. i was thinking of paying 8500

"It was driven an average of 14,034 miles per year, which is slightly lower than the industry average of 15,000. "

Don't buy it. It's automatic. I know i know. I was the same way. I want an auto because <insert reason>. NO. You will regret it badly.

Im 17 at the end of the month and I know I am not an excelent driver yet and I dont want something that may make me even worse.
Thus I want an AUTOMATIC!
Will i regret it because i wont be able to rev it high so i cant get my max power. Nope.
I will get a manual car later on in life

driving a stick will make you a better driver anyway

[dstrbcelica]

auto's aren't that bad. not all of us know how to drive a stick. = X

true that true that..auto not that bad......(gettin a auto to manual swap sooon i hope)

[Ichi]

I know how to drive a stick. I learned on my grandfathers WWII army jeep, that thing is fun.... I nevor stalled once though it made some funy noizes. Course I was driving on his backyard (grass) so it would slip if i revvvvved too high and it was harder to stall.
GL with the auto - manual swap Axncelica

I wouldn't pay more than 9500 for it. BTW I think you would be a lot happier in the long run if you wait and see if a 5spd comes along. Don't rush into buying the car because you might regret it.
