I would never ever buy an ex hire car ever! I know how I treat them, you get people saying "but they are well maintained". That may be the case but they are driven to bits!! No way would I touch one.

Apparently one of the best cars to buy like that is ex-learner ones. Yes, they may have high mileage but the engine is continously running all day therefore less wear caused by cold starts. By law they have to be well maintained. If the clutch is on its way out, they'll generally changed the clutch etc. Especially AA/RAC ones as they have them for about 1yr.

They don't buy them in the first place, they lease them for a few thousand miles then they are sent back.

Brother has a 1 series, when it was been serviced he had a 2.0l petrol 
He bascially ragged the shit out of it. Also he had a few 2 lane races from traffic lights.
