Cars at PVD
Picked up yesterday (grabbed a Mustang on a premium res), but what I saw upon return was a pretty vanilla stable of impalabus on the EA, and a bunch of SUVs on the ES. For those of you looking for a convertible or anything remotely nice, if its not in the Premium section, try looking way the hell down in the compact section (near the exit gate). The lot attendant told me that's where they stash their best cars usually in an effort to prevent attempts at self-upgrading.

Fairly solid selection last Thursday for a small locations. A couple of all of the usual suspects. The staff at this location is always exceedingly pleasant, which is always a huge surprise in new England, and are generally amenable to EEs grabbing whatever they want from the entire lot, at least in my last 6 or 7 visits.

I'd expect the standard Luxury offerings - Cadillac XTS, Lincoln MKZ, etc. With a Luxury you also have a good chance to getting an Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Volvo, etc.

I am planning to drive up to Maine and back before dropping off at BOS so it would be nice to get something good. I figured XTS or MKZ would be likely candidates, but I was hoping for something different.

Dropped of today at 4:00pm and it was empty of customers. Must be a slow time.
Both aisles weren't that bad. Quite a few Grand Caravans, some Impalas, some mid sized SUV's, 2 Chrysler 300's, two Armada's, 1 Challenger, 1 Flex and a splattering of other full sized cars. All the larger SUV's were of course pulled from the aisle, but the greeter was extremely helpful and after clearing it with her manager; allowed me to take whichever SUV I wanted. Chose a Suburban LT with 11,000 miles. It probably helped that it was slow and that I had just one-wayed a Yukon XL to them from EWR.

Picked up around 10am on Thursday, 12/27. Both aisles were picked nearly clean after the holiday rush — I believe there was a Wrangler and a Ford Flex on ES, both of which were gone by the time I left, and a Rogue on EA. I had a Luxury reservation and was offered a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace (Prestige) with 19.5K and a Cadillac XT5 with over 20K, both of which were parked over in a different, unmarked corner of the a garage. I took the Jaguar and enjoyed it quite a bit.
I noticed a Volvo S60 and I think a Cadillac XT4 in the Alamo section, but I was not offered either of those vehicles so not sure if they were sharing inventory.

I picked up last Saturday at 11:45 AM. Do note it's a really long walk to the facility from the terminal. All transactions are done in the garage on the weekends.
A large selection of cars in Emerald and Executive though nothing particularly special or interesting. I chose a Passat with 870 miles and working XM.
