Street Edition: most of the cars that come to my work are from the manufacturers like ford, mazda, BMW, Mercedes benz, GM, Dodge etc... and they are all lease returns, or least trade in. we get special dealer cars from mercedes benz canada from their dealer network, and they can be anything often very well taken care of cars that were traded ins on new mercedes, other wise it's Ex Rentals, repos, and dealer cars (ie. the cars the dealers can't sell on their lots or have been on them a while) Sometimes, yes there can be some major issus with the cars but often it's dealer cars or repos that have the issues, it's rare for the lease retuns to have major issues unless they are theft recovered, or had the odos rolled back.

MO: yes the Lotus is going on dealer block today I think in A lane. I'd check the GE stack of cars as they often have random cars in there, I've seen a few VW TDI's in there with 60 - 200,000 kms, often 06 - 08. otherwise check B, and D lane as they swap between those 2 lanes with random VW's. I'll be in H lane today if you want to swing by, just look for some brown POS mailbu as that's my shuttle, and I could take a look round for one for you. I'll be wearing a green high visibility vest, (I run H lane btw)

Nick: I could get some prices for what the floor prices is, but it could sky rocket up depending on what kind or how rare the car is, plus you'd not be able to buy as your not a dealer.

Nef: they '65 Mercury is going on the block today so donno yet.

Paolo: I have not worked at tims in like 4 years. I could as I still know a few people that work at the old location I worked at.

the only 06+ Vw's I've seen was a 2009 Golf / Rabbit (ex rental) and a 2007 Jetta GLi, but there are a few city models of each here too, about 3 or so. but if I see on I'll let you know, often there are a few GE Jettas, but GE will not be running until june 10th.

FYI that lotus sold for $36,000.
