They include<br \/>\ncars purchased for cash, as well as lease cars and long-term rental ones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_benefits_of_ex-fleet_cars\"><\/span><strong>The benefits of ex-fleet cars<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the pros. <strong>The first pro is this<\/strong>: despite the popular belief, ex-fleet cars aren\u2019t used up wrecks in general. True, a lot of them demonstrate impressive mileage; after all, they are bought precisely for being driven a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The reason behind this is a change in the approach of companies which do have a fleet at all. A company car is no longer considered a \u201cnobody\u2019s car\u201d that you can treat like junk and never suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"check-vin-btn-container check-vin-btn-container--green\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"check-vin-btn--arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe id=\"ASD-PA-0005010200-31-906\" title=\"Purchase the autoDNA reports in a bundle\" src=\"https:\/\/afilio.autodna.com\/ext\/load\/0005010200\/31?p_label=Check+VIN+number&p_color=green\" style=\"width: 271px; height: 59px; border: 0;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">PA.load(\"0005010200-31-906\", \"packages\");<\/script>\r\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Quite the contrary: today, the users of these cars treat them almost as good as their own because the company policy obliges them to do so.<\/p>\n<p>To be more specific, if you damage your company car, chances are you will need to pay for the damage out of your own pocket. Fleet owners are also obliged to have the vehicles serviced on a regular basis, which is a good thing to know if you\u2019re into buying a car from them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The second pro<\/strong> is the variety of ex-fleet vehicles available: you can pick the majority of makes, models, body types, engine versions and accessories. Virtually all segments of the car market are sold ex-fleet, from the city and compact cars, through the middle class, up until the representative premium class vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_drawbacks_of_ex-fleet_vehicles\"><\/span><strong>The drawbacks of ex-fleet vehicles:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Are there any drawbacks to consider, then? <strong>The first one<\/strong> is the considerable mileage we have already mentioned. The cars may not be old but they will have driven tens to a few hundred thousands kilometres. To put it in simple words, even if you buy cheap you will need to make quite an investment to bring the car back in shape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The second one<\/strong> is the servicing which may or may not have been done properly. It all depends on people, as usual.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><div class=\"info-frame-container info-frame-bulb info-iframe-border--yellow\">\n      <div class=\"info-frame-icon info-frame-bulb\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-header info-frame-header-green\">Information<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-content\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A driver that is being fair will be using an ASC but one that is mostly after savings will have the car repaired as cheap as possible. If you buy a car that was driven by such a person, it may turn out the repairs will need to be redone soon, and the replacement parts that were used will not last as long as the original ones would.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/div>\n    <\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_verdict_to_buy_or_not_to_buy\"><\/span><strong>The verdict: to buy or not to buy?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Knowing all of the above, can you make a simple yes or no purchase decision? Of course not; nothing is ever simple when it comes to buying a pre-owned car.<\/p>\n<p>A car that has finished its fleet life is definitely worth your attention if it is a higher class one. So if you\u2019re after an ex-fleet drive, look for one that was used by someone more successful than a sales rep.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it hardly ever makes sense to buy an ex-fleet car if you\u2019re not sure it was regularly serviced an examined in ASCs for the whole time it was part of the fleet. Now is the time to ask the question: <strong>how do you check this? <\/strong><strong>Check the history of an ex-fleet car. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The answer is simple: is you wish to find out more about the history of an ex-fleet vehicle you\u2019re planning to buy, use our professional VIN decoder.\u00a0 Go to autoDNA vehicle history\u00a0and find out more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><div class=\"info-frame-container info-frame-exclamation info-iframe-border--green\">\n      <div class=\"info-frame-icon info-frame-exclamation\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-header info-frame-header-orange\">It is good to know<\/strong><strong><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-content\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">At autoDNA.com, the market-leading <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodna.com\/decoder-vin-checker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIN decoding<\/a> tool, you can <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodna.com\/\">free<\/a> <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIN lookup<\/a> on a given vehicle.
