Would you buy a Carfax "corporate fleet" vehicle?

I'd prefer if the Carfax noted a single personal owner who traded it in at the dealer but I keep seeing these Nismos as "corporate fleet" vehicles that were bought

Default Would you buy a Carfax "corporate fleet" vehicle?

I'd prefer if the Carfax noted a single personal owner who traded it in at the dealer but I keep seeing these Nismos as "corporate fleet" vehicles that were bought by Nissan dealers at auctions. Are there any negatives associated with corporate fleet history? Does this mean multiple people would have driven the car? Doesn't seem fitting for a Z to be a company car if that's what it means.

A few of the Nismos I saw with corporate fleet history have been CPOd by the dealership for 7 years/100k miles so I guess that's reassuring but it still doesn't take into account how the car was driven.

Some of these 'corporate vehicles' are for executives or marketing. You can consider them as demo's. I suppose the most important thing is to do a PPI regardless of the history.

You can have a single owner car that was tracked/trashed extensively and get traded in....

I personally would buy it if it is verified in good original condition.
