I see some reletively late model cars from a rental compay up for sale..generally over 200 000 km but can they be good value?
I would assume they have been serviced regularly and otherwise seem quite tidy.

Would appreciate your views..thanks

Hi there,
Generally rental cars have had a good service history, but how they have been treated/ panel repairs may be a bit of an unknown.
If resale value/ km's are not a problem, you can often get a late model car with all the current technology or safety features, for a good price. A small amount of this saving may be added on to the servicing/ maintenance costs required of a high mileage vehicle which is where the trade-off lies.
