Would you buy a rental car?

It's a toss up when considering a rental car that is for sale. I'd personally not buy one..... I rented cars that were trashed out and some were even with body damage and mismatched paint from accidents. I'd stay away unless it has a very good history and take it to a private mechanic for inspection! WIth that all said...... beware.

I have owned an ex rental and had no trouble with it.Of course, the company maintained the car with a full service history and was a large operation. Modern cars really dont need to be "run in" like they used to. Manufacturing tolerances are much finer. They do however need to me maintained and avoid outright abuse.. So there is that factor to observe...😷

Once purchased a car that was a rental and it was a great car.

But I wouldn’t recommend a Malibu at all. It’s not a reliable model.

I bought a rental car - it's been great. Most likely the miles were all highway, low stress miles

I bought a rental car once it was good. They are very well-maintained.

after a proper test drive and i would have my mechanic run diagnostics on it to make sure it was okay.

I would consider buying a rental

Fun fact: I was an engineering intern for Cummins auto division back in 2005. We would rent the newest model of car from Hertz or Enterprise, bring it back to our factory, tear it down and take copies of the parts and assemblies. Then we'd put the car back together and return it. They never asked us what we were doing, and we didn't tell them.

No, I would never buy a rental or fleet car.

Id ask why its for sale but yeah id look into it

No .. I'd not buy a former rental

Car fax it and then yes if never wrecked.

I would not, no.

Look up the 2018 malibu problems on google.

It's probably been thrashed for half those miles...

Hell no.

Yes

Rentals are meticulously maintained with extensive records, I would.
