I bought a Chevy 2500 Express 2015 with about 23k miles from a Chevy dealer. It was a FORMER Enterprise van. Was in nice shape and looked well maintained, though it WAS a low mileage truck. The only thing missing was the vinyl inside door panels. Didn't matter since I would have removed them anyway while insulating and paneling the doors.
 
I bought a 2015 Ford Transit 148'' wheelbase low roof passenger van with 22k on it, gutted it did my own conversion and have since put 33k trouble free miles behind me ( including 2 RTR's). It still had the full warranty to 36k, and 60k power train warranty. At 12 months old it looked brand new,good carfax history, I have been extremely happy with my van, my only regret is that the high/mid roof models were as rare as hens teeth back then, thinking of trading up in the near future and it will be another Transit.

I think they sell these quickly off of lease. Short lease, and remainder of factory warranty is a strong incentive to purchase these low mile, former rentals IMHO.
 
My van was first owned by Enterprise. They sold it after about 6 months with 11k on it. Van was in good shape, with warranty well intact.

If you have the money my guess is that they're a good choice as they tend to see their vans off quickly. if they just do minimal maintenance how much can go wrong in a year???

Penske is another choice. Two years on I'm very happy with my GMC van from Penske. They're a little pricey right now but you can talk them down. Try and look for something outside of California.

I flew up to Oregon to get mine.

Fyi, just got an email from Enterprise. Am on their mailing list. They had. $500 above KBB for your trade-in on a vehicle purchase coupon in the email.
They take your trade in? Could be the right deal for someone.
 
just keep in mind many fleet vehicle companies are self insured,
so if vehicle is in wreck they can fix it without a report such as carfax
 
Enterprise is not only the number one car rental business for retail customers (non-corporations), but smart money takes advantage of buying their well maintained vehicles all the time. It's the safest way to buy a used vehicle for a fair price. Corporations buy their cars all the time! Since I rent from them when I need a rental, I appreciate their value business model for their customers

Can't afford right now, but seeing a 2017 High roof for $25K with only 23K?? Hell, deal me in...
Mine was in that same ballpark.  2017 high roof for $25.8K with 11k on the odo.  :)
