    2017 RAM 2500 - Corporate Vehicle Opinions?

    Good afternoon all,

    I've been on the hunt for a new (to me) 4th gen and came across a really nice 17 Laramie MC with low miles (31k).

    Everything looks good on the carfax as far as maintenance goes and 1 owner.

    However, the 1 owner says it was a corporate vehicle?

    I’ve done some research and got multiple answers saying it could have been a leased vehicle and the leasing company is technically the truck's corporate owner.

    I also saw it could be from a rental fleet or if just could have been bought under a business entity for tax purposes.

    Anywho, would any of these deter you from possibly buying?

    It’s a 3-hour drive to see the truck, so I want to cross my Ts and dot my I before making the haul.

    Does anyone have any input or opinions on the original owner designating it as a corporate vehicle?

    Thanks, everyone!

    Carfax usually will tell you if it's a rental/fleet truck.

    Is the original owner a business owner? If so there is a good chance his business bought it and not him.

    What did he say when you asked him why he registered it as a corporate vehicle?

    I’m actually not in contact with the original owner.

    It’s at a dealership in Jacksonville not a private seller.

    Sorry I should have stated that.

    That’s exactly what I thought was if it was rental it’s clearly stated, but I’ve never came across a “corporate vehicle”.

    Corporate vehicles are not uncommon.

    If the CARFAX is good I wouldn't worry about it if it were me looking at it.

    I bought a 2015 Grand Cherokee back in 2015 and carfax stated it was a corporate lease vehicle.

    Still have it to this day with zero issues. I would probably make the drive to see this truck.

    Awesome to hear fellas,

    Thank you for all the input.

    Like I said I’ve never seen this on a carfax so wanted to be sure it’s nothing to cause concern.

    I’m going to go check it out tomorrow afternoon!

    I would venture to say that's definitely not a rental.
