I bought an 04 Peugeot 307 1.4 diesel turbo estate, 96k, FSH, 12 months MoT, good tyres/brakes, for £2400.

The thing is I bought it from a small locally owned hire company. I figured that if it had reached 96,000 miles and still drove as solidly as it did it must be ok. Took it for a full service with fingers crossed and there's nothing up with it (phew).

I've put a couple of thousand miles on it and it's very comfortable and great for motorways.

Looking at retail prices for the same car, I could easily have paid £3,500+.

Conclusion: buying an ex-hire car can be a very good idea.

Thankyou.

Long live the glorious English Imperial system of measurements.
