Encyclopedia Hoonatica: NOT Available At Your Local Dealer

fleet-only-cars Once a manufacturer goes through the time, effort and expense to construct a new car design, the idea is usually to sell all they can, through every sales channel available. The majority of sales (as Tesla has recently discovered) is almost always through their franchised dealer network. But car makers also sell to fleets, rental car companies, and other non-retail buyers. Sometimes they offer these “buy-’em-by-the-dozen” customers specially-equipped models that regular dealers don’t get to sell. Today’s Encylcopedia Hoonatica entry seeks these not-available-at-your-local-dealer offerings, whether they are end-of-life, previous generation designs that few private individuals would want to purchase anyway or really, really cool vehicles that gearheads must impatiently watch to show up used on Joe Bob’s Corner Car Lot. DIFFICULTY: Get your low-hanging fruit early.
