>>28643182Holy hell a rentalThanks anon avoiding that like the plague.
>>286432051 out of every 5 used cars is a former fleet vehicle. Not a big deal really.
>>28643205If anything it being a rental is probably a good thing because renter agency's are absolute turbofaggots and will fine customers over the minorest of "damage" (or just make shit up) to keep them going. So it'll probably be decently maintained. Being a manual though, there's no telling if some zoom zoom hasn't grenaded the clutch yet.
>>28643226Last time I got a rental I drove it over a chunk of broken off concrete and rebar. Totally destroyed the tire and fucked up the wheel + wheel well.I put a random shitty used tire on from a nearby shop, colored in the rim/wheel rash with a black sharpie, and returned the car no questions asked.I also went WOT for three hours straight both to and from the rental place.tldr NEVER buy a rental
>>28643219>>28643226I literally got a rental ford focus airborne multiple times in the desert multiple times. The front strut towers were visibility damaged. I returned the car with no issue. I assume all rental cars are treated as such. Especially a poor mtx rwd sedan.
>>28642372in the UK, just pretend you're selling the car you're interested in on ebay/autotrader/motors.co.uk, put in the rego, and you'll get a free VIN report. For free. Remember to cancel the sale otherwise you'll get billed for it and weirdos calling you.
>>28643205>a rentalI'd be more worried that it's a manual transmission in the USA. That clutch will be hanging on for dear life.
"don't be gentle, it's a rental" still rings very true for myself and others, including non-car people. Would not own anything that has "fleet vehicle" anywhere on the history report.
