buying a ex taxi car, what to look for

Anything i have to do if i buy a car that was used as a taxi? Does it need any special changing over on tax or log book? Does insurance be affected because it was ex taxi?

Vast amounts of extra wear and tear on everything, seen and unseen.

I'd question the decision in general tbh. Usually by the time a taxi driver is done with a car, there isn't much left of it.

Still doesn't sound too appealing. Got a link to it?

Needs to be super cheap to be considered, 250k miles on a taxi can be a lot more wear than 250k miles on a similarly owned private car.

What to look for?

Piss
Puke
Semen
****
Snot
Phlegm
Class A drugs
Gun shot residue
Skin flakes
Blood
Ear wax
Lots of tears
Every bacteria known
Other bacteria not yet known
Athletes foot

And that's just the drivers seat

Good luck and enjoy it.

On the plus side the indicators were probably never used. :pac:
