What's up with all the used 2011's I'm seeing advertised already?

There are a bunch of used 2011's already showing up for sale.

Why would people buy a car like that and then less than two months later having already traded them in?

They can't all be repo's already this soon.

There are some on ebay and on auto trader and even videos on youtube from dealer used car lots.

Seems stupid to me.

I'm sure lots of people buy them on a whim and realize it doesn't fit their lifestyle or that they can't afford it... happens all the time.

Within the "All mile" search in cars.com... I think there's a legit 5-7 used 2011's.

- rental fleets will dump inventory if product isn't moving at a location
- bad purchasing/leasing decision by the buyer
- circumstances suddenly change; death in the family / called up for service / surprise baby, etc
- dealers use the cars as demos throughout the summer, want to dump before everyone else does in the fall (mustangs sell slow Nov-> Feb)

Lots of possible reasons.

It's not "stupid"...things happen to people that force them to make choices. Obviously one of the first items to go will be a vehicle.

Another reason is sometimes people make the wrong choice when buying a vehicle. Once the deed is done, you have two choices - take your lumps upfront, and pay more to drive a vehicle you do like, or just drive it for years even though you have whatever issues with it.

I've always been the former, and if someone can justify the cost to enjoy the drive, then who are we to judge?

I would like to say that I would like to wait for this to happen with the BOSS but I am doubtful. Plus, who is going to get the same options that I want. Maybe I want rear seat delete!
