That should put up a red flag, huh.
Usually, if you see a car had spent more than a month or so at a dealership, or similar, you can bet it suffered a major accident of some type. Another dead give away when looking at the car is a good deal of surface corrosion, which is common for a car that just sits, especially if the battery is not disconnected.
