That's pretty wild. How could even a parking lot attendant not notice the difference between a diesel and a gas engine?

I once bought a Peugeot 405S wagon for a song after Peugeot decided to stop selling new cars in the US. It was a 'demo' car used by some exec at the US HQ. 450 miles. I paid almost half list price.

Of course then I had a car that was no longer being sold here...
What parking lot attendant? This wasn?t at a dealership, but rather at an enormous staging area with 10?s of thousands of vehicles stored. Access to and movement of the vehicles once inside was very limited and it wasn?t worth the difficulty to go through the red tape for a handful of units offloaded from the transporter by mistake.
