Hey guys...anything to be watchful about, when buying an x-rental e30?

Is this a good idea?

it's probably been driven very very hard! Not always a bad thing because it's probably been serviced when it should of been

In theory there is nothing wrong with buying exrental, just like buying any other ex fleet car. But just remember how you drive a rental car when you use one! :D :drive: :burn:

Look closely at service history, and give it a good poke around for rust etc... just be extra vigilant

fastest car in the world = a hire car, or an astravan...

can I ask how long ago this e30 was for hire? as most major companies change their fleet every 6-8 months...
