Default What is a corporate fleet car?

Several used RS4's Im seeing are listed on carfax as a corporate fleet car. What does that mean? Is it a car a certain corporation bought for an executive as a perk/company car. Or is it a Audi NA owned car that was driven by an Audi exec.?

How come so many RS4s I've seen are corporate fleets and is it anything I should worry about?

Default Maybe. It might be a press car, or a test car, and thus might have been thrashed.

Or it could have been an auto show car and it has been treated like a museum piece. Difficult to say.

Not necessarily, just wary.

Default you should always avoid a fleet anything.

unless you like getting it up the doo-dah.

Default Audi Corporate if fine

They have been used by AOA execs for 5 to 7000 miles &amp; then dealers get them for resale as new or demo cars. You get full warranty to. Only down side is they are usually early serial #. Boardwalk Audi, Dallas Tx, has Mugello Blue w/ Black Int. &amp; CF with roughly 7500 mile on it. They wanted $71,500 for it in January. I think it's in the mid 6's now. Good luck

Default agree, i'm sure some of those get mixed in

although most are probably AoA exec cars, not other corporations. i don't see the typical corp ponying up for RS4's.

Default that would qualify too

once it's owned by Audi again, it's 'corporate'.
