Fleet Car

I was looking to buy a 2017 wrb Limited and stumbled upon one that was listed as "fleet" in the carfax. It has 19,000 miles and is vin #560.

I haven't seen any BRZ's at rental places so I'm assuming that it was a Subaru press/company car. Is my assumption correct?

Is there anything I should be wary of?

Are there any others who have bought a fleet car?

if its in the DC area, it might be the former car of a friend of mine. Sales director for a dealership and got a 17 WRB BRZ as a company perk.

If it is his car, it was babied and never modded. He was terrified of wrecking or breaking the his company car.

Sounds like exactly what I would say to the company if I was tracking the #racecar they gave me on the weekends...

The car is located in the DC/MD area so it could possibly be his.

Do you know how often cars are given by corporate?
