It is in very good condition and also looks brand new. The tires don't look like they were tracked, but those could have been replaced or different ones used at the track. I thought I did well. I got it for $25,900 with the 8/80 certified used warranty. Now, I'm thinking I could have done much better and had less worries about it being beaten on. All the cars in my area were about the same price or much higher and they were all corporate lease vehicles purchased at auction (about 5 all together).
Maybe your insider could check it out for me.
Again, this were a Chrysler VIP report is Golden. The problem is that specifically states at the top of it:
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL: This information is provided to DEALERS, in accordance with Section 4 of Dealer's Software License, Data Exchange and Electronic Commerce Agreement with DaimlerChrysler Motors Company LLC. All information provided is for dealer use only and is considered confidential to all other entities.
So there you have the legal part. Getting a dealer to give up this information is actually a violation of the Federal Privacy of Information Act, so getting it is pretty difficult. The reasons are mostly having to do with the previous owner information that is tied into everything on the report. They should be able to get you the information that doesn't include the previous owner's, or mark through it so you can't read it. Of course, if the previous owner IS Chrysler, then they shouldn't have anything to hide. If you can manage to get a copy of your car's report, then look under the "Options Report" If it was a chrysler ordered car it will have some or all of these option codes listed...
YAP - Retiree Lease Vehicle
4EAA - Pre-Sold Order
YALA - Executive Lease Program
3AHA - Price Protection - Code H (employee price)
4HA - Special Scheduling Condition I (top priority build and ship ASAP)
4HW - Pre-Spec Vehicle Order Tracking
5N2P - Mandatory Company Car Equipment (don't know what that means...)
4E6S - Retroactive Cost Adjustment II (employee price reduction)
623S - Michigan State Code
923S - Michigan State Code
1*** - U.S. Miscellaneous Special
I believe that the Track Experience Cars are listed as some type of Demo Promo car, but I'm not sure what those build codes are. Also, most Track cars I've seen or driver have had less than 3,500 miles on them before being auctioned off.
Also of note the Luggage "Touring Gear" code is XPRS.
