Used 2011 GT with only 84 miles?
Saw this listed. How can a used one only have 84 miles? I'm assuming it's possible someone bought it and it had a lot of problems so they fixed it and put it back up for sale?

Well if the car was bought over the weekend then the loan was pre-approved by the dealership then on monday the bank looked at the appl. and said no way are we approving this, so the dealer then has to take the car back.

Or maybe some guy bought it and then drove it home after a spirited test drive and his wife was so pissed off she made him take it back??? Or they bought it and then noticed a GT500 and traded for that?

Could be anything. I'm guessing the whole finance thing.
Dealership over the weekend approves you based on a presumed finance rate, come monday the bank says "no way" or this is the actual rate (much higher), owner said "no way" take it back or the dealer said "sorry no deal, bring the car back".
Or, the guy got a promotion on Friday only to find out the company closed on Monday (like the Jim Carrey movie, Fun with Dick and Jane)
P.S. check those rear tires, they look like they've been roasted a few times...
VIN: 1ZVBP8CF0B5152060
If someone has a carfax available....
And also, if it was a Demo car the dealer may have a rule (or the state its in) about selling a demo car as new.... just a few thoughts.

I'm betting it's the color. Talk about a lemon. This is the worse color Ford has ever come up with. I was all set to order this color until I saw a couple cars with it. The cars I have seen with it have paint match problems between body and bumpers. If ever there was a need to drop a color in mid year, this would be a good time for Ford to do it. What happened to grabber orange and that gold color? Both were cool.

The demo thing makes sense but Id think it would have had a lot more than 81 miles on it. I bet they are charging near full MSRP of a new one for it still.
My dad in 2007 bought a Demo Sonata with less than 7k on it and got a pretty good deal on it.
