I have access through the company I work for. 23500 Base with cloth, I assume.

Are they RED light or GREEN light cars?

I'd be leery of any car with a rental history.
Rentals get ragged out something awful.
Think about how you would drive a 5.0 if you only had it for the weekend?

Same here

Never ever said I would buy a rental. My wife's tahoe was a rental :| I could not pass up the deal though. I hated every minute of it lol.

My buddies and I use to do E brake pull contest in his rental while drunk in his driveway lol.

I'm not sure . It's an auction IN Fontana, CA

it's called mamaith or something like that .

But I saw many vehicles go for cheap such as a 2010 charger srt8 for 17600 and a challenger 2009 srt8 for 27

I can get a 2012 V6 new for $18,999... and it will come with a warranty...

My impression is that you could buy it without the warranty, much like you would if it were a 4 year old car or even 3 year old... Just remember the old saying to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst... If you get it, you can hope that nothing will go wrong, but if you are honest with yourself and prepared for the worst (in this case a blown motor and tranny since the warranty is kaput) would it still make financial sense to have gotten this car?

You bought your car at an auction as well?

And l drove the car , it doesn't shake or make noises like a blown motor would and pulls hard an redlined pretty good too.

But yes I can hope for the best because it is a sweet deal but would a tranny or motor problem come out in a dtc?

Dealer

mine ran fine, pulled great, and no codes. 7 and 8 pistons were cracked the whole time.

Had a slight tick you could only hear with windows up and radio off.

How did you drive a car for sale at the auction?
