We wanted to buy this 2014 Silverado, but we researched brande titles and it is a fleet vehical.

What kind of fleet vehicle was it? Six thousand miles per year is low mileage. Especially for a "fleet" vehicle. A fleet vehicle can mean a rent a car, police or taxi, company delivery vehicle (miles are too low for that though), a company executive's personal use vehicle, etc. I wouldn't call it the kiss of death. But I would investigate it further if you're still interested in it. Sometimes a company will trade or sell a vehicle based only on age and/or mileage. When I was shopping for a personal limousine I looked at one that was 10 years old. It was a "fleet" vehicle in that it was company owned. The car was the company owner's personal limousine and in addition to using it for his personal transportation it was used to shuttle clients to and from the airport and hotels. Company policy was once a vehicle was 10 years old it was sold or traded, no matter what. There was nothing wrong with the car but I didn't buy it because it had a Northstar engine without any evidence of the head gaskets being done yet. It was actually a beautiful car! Sometimes dealers are required to take possession of the title while the vehicle is in their inventory. New Jersey is like that. It could be that this happened and the vehicle history report company is counting that as an owner when it's really not a new owner. I've also found errors on vehicle history reports. Twice I found that a vehicle had been reported stolen. I reported it and the matter was investigated by the authorities. It was an error both times. So mistakes do happen on a vehicle history report. They're not perfect. HTH. -Jim

It sounds sketchy so I would walk away. If you can prove that the car dealer lied to you, I would contact the Better Business Bureau and post appropriate feedback on Google. Do not post information that you can not prove. Jim is correct mistakes do happen, but if you can't tie up the loose ends, walk away.

I would walk away, and also I would add that if you're looking for a dealership to be upfront with you about issues with their vehicles on the lot, you'll be looking a long time.
