    Hi,

    So my girlfriend is looking to get a Fabia and ive little knowledge on cars so heres the best place to ask. So here's the model of Fabia she looking to get a 1 litre. She will be getting second hand as they wll still have a manufacturers warrenty till July 2018 on the 151 so do I even need a mechanic to check them.

    I could be wrong but that car screams ex-rental which would make me more wary of it than a similar car that was privately owned for sale from a main dealer etc.

    Is it priced a bit lower than other Fabias? It's need to be. Not that ex rental is a strict no no but i'd be slightly more wary of it.

    Ex rentals tend to be much lower spec. than this. OP, any update on this? Did she decide to buy or not?

    3/6month rentals could be any spec as the supplying garage often buys them back to sell.

    There's an active spec lower than that, proper miserable.

    Agree that screams ex rental. Judging by the other cars they sell it seems to be ex-fleet/rental yokes.
