A hell of a lot of test drives? Or one really long one?

In a case like that it doesnt have to be licensed, because they can just throw on dealer plates and the company has those plates insured for whatever car the plate is on. Thats how it is right now for my shop, my dad and I wholesale cars and we have insurence on whatever were driving as long as i have a dealer plate on the car.

Is it GM certified used? Because I would guess if it's been previously titled it SHOULD be certified used...

But dealers are limited to how many dealer plates they have and need to keep some for test drives. Some dealers allow each of their sales people to have a "demo" car to drive daily. In this case they would need to license them so they have the dealer plates for customer test drives.

in mass the dealers get a number then each seperate plate adds a letter of the alphabet A-Z, so they can get alot of damn plates.

If the dealer has rentals, it could have been in the rental fleet, the owner's son could have drove it, any number of reasons why it can be registered.

Anyways request a carfax, and it probably should cost you 25% off MSRP

P.S the dealer already got their rebate at the time of sale
