And while most buyers are looking into vehicles from this segment, there&rsquo;s another category of used cars that might also be a great investment&#19968;the ones bought for &ldquo;fleet use.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Fleet Use Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A car, van, or truck that has been purchased for fleet use is part of a bulk of vehicles bought by a business or government agency. Fleet vehicles are used to run a business or operation, such as tax companies, car rentals, and police departments. After a year or two, fleet cars usually end up in the used-car market or for sale online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleet vehicles have a bad reputation in the used-car market because most of them have racked up a lot of miles within a short period. Fleet cars intended for public utility have a little over 100,000 miles on their odometer before they&rsquo;re retired and replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this isn&rsquo;t always the case because there are fleet cars in the used-car market that only have 20,000 miles on them. Most of these vehicles served as rental cars, so they probably did most of their time on open roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages and Disadvantages of Buying Fleet Vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"fleet vehicles lined up\" class=\"wp-image-78533\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicles-lined-up.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Like any other used vehicle, there are some pros and cons that come with buying a fleet car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other used vehicle, there are some pros and cons that come with buying a fleet car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy a fleet car, you can rest assured that it&rsquo;s well taken care of.

So if you&rsquo;re planning to buy a fleet car, steer clear of those used under rough road conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some fleet cars that were used for public transport, like taxi cabs and cop cars, also tend to be neglected. There&rsquo;s also a chance that they&rsquo;ve been driven by reckless drivers who didn&rsquo;t pay attention to the vehicles&rsquo; needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular Fleet Vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"ford explorer and honda accord\" class=\"wp-image-78529\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord-1536x928.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ford-explorer-and-honda-accord.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Several industries use fleet vehicles, ranging from small businesses to rental companies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Several industries use fleet vehicles, ranging from small businesses to rental companies. Most of them have these models in their fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dodge Charger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/dodge\/charger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dodge Charger\">Dodge Charger<\/a> is one of the most popular picks for police cars in the country. It has a comfortable cabin and is large enough to carry special police equipment. Its impressive maneuverability and four-corner control also make it an excellent cop car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ford Explorer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ford Explorer is also a common sight in police departments, thanks to its &ldquo;pursuit mode,&rdquo; which temporarily boosts its performance upon the driver&rsquo;s command. It gives cops an edge when chasing criminals on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Accord<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the taxi business, the Honda Accord is a popular choice among drivers. It&rsquo;s versatile and has generous cabin and trunk space for carrying passenger luggage. It&rsquo;s also perfect for urban driving because of its compact size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BMW 7 Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to business vehicles, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/bmw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BMW\">BMW<\/a> 7 Series is usually the way to go.

The GSA Fleet service lets customers buy a vehicle from AutoChoice. It&rsquo;s the mandatory agency where federal agencies should buy their fleet cars, but other eligible users can also buy a vehicle from the GSA&rsquo;s listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other third-party dealers and even some original manufacturers also sell fleet vehicles. There are even dozens of sites online where you can find fleet vehicles for sale without leaving the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red Flags When Buying a Fleet Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleet vehicles are used cars, which means some of them might have issues.

You might end up going on frequent and costly trips to the repair shop to have them fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Maintenance History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A vehicle without any sort of maintenance history could mean that the previous owner was neglectful of its preventive maintenance schedule. So you might end up shelling out more cash to replace worn-out parts if you buy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faulty Odometer Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you&rsquo;re buying a vehicle&rsquo;s unused miles, a low odometer reading is usually a good sign that you&rsquo;ll get to drive your used car for quite some time. But be careful. Some cars with low mileage could have been tampered with to make it seem like they were rarely used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts: Are Fleet Vehicles Bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"fleet vehicle coming out from parking\" class=\"wp-image-78568\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking-1024x526.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking-768x395.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking-1536x790.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking-150x77.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fleet-vehicle-coming-out-from-parking.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>If you&rsquo;re looking to purchase a fleet vehicle, you must keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll be buying its unused miles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking to purchase a fleet vehicle, you must keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll be buying its unused miles.
