Hundreds of 5-year-old municipal vehicles found in Miami that were never used
Have you ever bought a brand new cars only to forget where you put it? How about 300 of them? Probably not – unless you're Miami-Dade County, which was recently reunited with 298 vehicles it bought brand new between 2006 and 2007.
The county "discovered" this fleet of no-mileage vehicles after reading about them in a Spanish-language newspaper there (see the source for more images). Most of the misplaced motorcade is made up of Toyota Prius hybrids whose warranties either expired with very few miles on the odo or will very soon.

Great job, Miami. You guys rock.

And they wonder why we want limited government.

I'd bet there was either a sweetheart deal (Probably involving nepotism as well as just plain graft) in the sale, or set up for the disposition.

They should replace them with the chevy volt.

It was a real good deal...somebody got $100 under the table for each one that was bought.
...and now all the batteries are dead and need replacing.

The ones with low mileage were probably driven one time, after which it was realized that they suck. So they just parked them and let them go.
