"wholesale to the public" - no test drive?

[SOUNDMAN5000]

I could understand that mentality but the 4 runner was really clean. Local car fax, lots of service records. Someone loved it once.

Like I said I would have purchased if I could have driven.

I haven’t looked at others. I don’t think I would buy without driving. I still can’t figure out why unless there is some insurance reason.

What was the miles on the 4 runner? Not saying you can't find a good car on the back row ( you can as my buddy did ) but once a car get high miles and over so many years old your normal new car dealer will normally let those go to auction or has his own network of mom and pop lots that will buy those cars...

I don’t remember exactly. It was under 200k

My xterra has 420K. With no rust here the right platform can last a really long time.

So I am working out of town this week. I had inquired about an Xterra they have in this program. The salesman emailed asking if I wanted to look. I looked at there add again and they have bumped the price up and included some pictures now - there were none before. I asked him if I could drive this one, since the price went up - maybe its not a "wholesale" vehicle. He said I could drive it in the parking lot.

I am leaning towards this being as someone suggested a scam to get people to come in to the dealer maybe?

Very odd behavior for a major dealer.
