<p>[QUOTE="mjd4277, post: 12203145, member: 171382"]Problem is up in Maine (and a few other northeastern states) is that as those vehicles rack up the miles they’re also at a higher risk of corrosion from the environment they operate in(salt air and salt used to treat the roads during the winter). Most of the northeastern states,if not all of them have annual vehicle safety inspections and part of that is inspecting the body/frame of the vehicle. If the corrosion is bad enough then the vehicle has to be retired. And fleet vehicles see a lot more severe service than your typical passenger vehicle. Also,they use more electronics (laptops,radar/laser speed detection/license plate readers,lights) so that puts added load on the electrical systems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
