Trying to pass a cloth-interior Maxima that has a slushy CVT and lousy stereo as a premium car is a bad play, IMHO.
I ask a station manager a couple of years ago why so many differant levels of Lacrosses. He said that Hertz does not own those cars. (turnbacks) After Hertz puts 15,000 to 20,000 miles on them they are sent to surrounding dealers and sold as program cars. That way people have a choice of how much they want to spend on buying a car with differant trim levels.
