Urban legend sides against buying x rental cars due to them being subject to abuse. Its a silver (preferred color) 2014 AWD touring with ~26k~. AVIS is furnishing me with a CarFax and hopefully its maintenance record. It's in service in Oakland, Ca now andi dont know if its been in service elsewhere.
Assuming the cars been in service for a year and a half or so the ~26k~ mileage figure seems kinda low compared with the edmunds GT long term test which had the car doing 25k in 10 to 12 months and driven by multiple drivers as well. The cars been serviced by AVIS as well. I guess the one thing im concerned about is how the car was driven thru its break in period. I plan on having my mechanic take a look on it before i commit. Are there any areas i should have the mechanic focus on as they go over it?
