If it's becase we invaded Iraq, the reasons given were valid - although not

yeah, they only want the creeps selling essentially brand new

FleaBuy might be looking at newer cars for more cash and allowing
their investment in CL to cover those low rent cars. Most of the low
price cars are just too much hassle for sellers to get solid deals
on. Granted Kaleb makes a killing on cars, but witness the SL that
went for pennies.
