lulz... There is such a thing as resellers, or people who didn't like the car. I know someone who bought a BRZ and got rid of it a month later because of the "slow" factor. So...

I bet you more then half of those are buy-backs from customers who had the CEL issue.

Buy backs get a lemon title though. So they can't just be manufacturer buy backs based on that. (State laws may vary though)

You're cool.

This could have gone in the off-topic forum... or alternatively a vat of acid.

I realize that people is getting rid of this car for things about it that is vary apparent on a test drive. I think people got caught up in "HYPE" and it died down as soon as they finally own the damn thing. I guess they wanted it to magically be better than just a "feel" car?

A lot of the ones at toyota dealers are probably demos and the ones on the littler lots or other brands might have been picked up by "car people" who own dealerships...knew they could put a few thousand on the car and make a quick turn-around.

There could be many various reasons... why make any useless assumptions.
