Repmobile

A repmobile is a semi-derogatory British term used to describe cars that are popular on the fleets of sales representatives (or reps). This term is most commonly applied to large family cars produced by mainstream manufacturers and sold cheap to fleets, e.g. Honda Accord.
These cars are typically bought for high mileage motorway use and passed on to auctions with or more at three to four years old. The fact that these cars are very common, suffer from this negative image and are sold cheap to fleets ensure that depreciation is steep.
