V3DUB 0 Posted November 6, 2005 One of my mates hired a 6 series bmw for the weekend, we went to collect this on thurs night i just started chattin to the hire rep and asked him what the deal was with the unlimited mileage policy and also do the cars sell for alot cheaper when it comes to selling . He didnt really want to say but ended up lettin it slip, he said that all cars are are sold after 2-3 years and are still average mileage?, i didn't know what he was onabout, the way i see it hire cars are more or less on the road all time. He then explained that alot of hire companies buy a car virtually brand new say 3-4k miles the cars are let but when the service is due they clock back to show the car has only done a few thousand miles, this procedure is repeated for up until the car is auctioned off, what your're left with is a car with full service history which all adds up same as the clock but a heck of alot miles in reality.......i was fookin shocked at the things that go on out there.....

vr6storm 0 Posted November 7, 2005 maybe thats what happens in the prestige side but i work for Europcar p/t and i can assure you they never clock the motors,they are supplied from manufactures and they all have a mileage limit(which varies)and the hire companies get penalised if they go over it.....but we are speaking of 12-14k miles...........the oldest motors aside from commercials are all on 05 plates too btw,so not even 1 yo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
