CPO buying advise from mustang owners
Hi!
I'm interested in buying a mustang which is a certified pre owned car. Following are the car details-
-2016 Ecoboost premium convertible
-Black color
-30,000 miles driven
-1 owner- was a rental car
-$21,000
I want to ask you all if you think this is a good deal. I personally saw the car and it's in a very good condition, almost new from inside. However, since it was a rental car, I'm not sure if it's safe to buy it since I've heard so much crap about rental cars.
Thanks,
Sankalp

Personally I am not a fan of rental car purchases. So many are abused by customers who just don't give a crap. They hit curbs, floor it too often, play with the 'vert top up and down needlessly, spill food/coffee, etc.. and do just unpleasant things that you would hopefully not do with your own car. If it was a really low mileage example and not driven by too many people, maybe. However with 30k miles on the one you are talking about, no thanks. For a few thousand more you can get a non-rental with lower miles and probably a better ownership experience. Good luck with everything!

I've gotta agree with my friend Dave above. I saw a knucklehead doing burnouts in a Mustang rental in the parking lot of a condo we were staying at in Florida. Plus I'm suspicious of the maintenance on the cars.

My wife brought a rental Charger home a couple years ago, while our Edge was getting warranty work done. I took the keys and headed out the door. My wife asked me, "where are you going"? I told her, "where do you think"!!! I ran the poop out of that thing . I'm 'old', so just imagine what the young people are doing to rentals
