Fleet vehicle sales?

My questions were related more to the fleet side of the sales to see if there was really any advantage. It does not appear to be dramatically so in either price or ease. A Yukon off the lot is way more than I want to spend, I haven’t seen anything in casual browsing that was less than $50k+. Of course the Toyota Sequoia is up there too. I wanted a full size SUV but not at the prices I see. A new Toyota Crewmax can be had in the mid 30’s with cloth to mid 40’s with leather and toys. That skews the numbers somewhat since the Tundra is not a big seller, and it’s not an SUV, which is the only reason I was looking at GMC or Ford.

No offense taken, I’ve bought several new cars and just hate the whole process. Maybe I’ll try a broker like Costco or similar. I’ve also rented enough cars, and I would not buy one. That is just me though.

Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs.

Any particular reason you must go new???
I bought a 2016 Expedition EL XLT 4x4 one step above the SSV (fleet model) no fancy options in March and gave $25,800. Still has a year remaining for the factory warranty and the dealer I bought from provides a lifetime powertrain warranty.
Sticker price for it was $48,500.
I have no doubt I’ll get 10 years out of it.

Wife has a 2012 Highlander Limited (fully loaded) we bought in 2014 with 22k miles. It was a Toyota Certified Preowned and came with a 7 year 100k mile warranty. Paid 28,000 for it sticker was $44,000.
Both were just as good as brand new at way less than sticker.
