Re: Used cars vs. new ones
I used to have rentals through my company, as I didn't qualify for a company car, but was on contract far enough away to warrant a company provided vehicle. I was doing such high mileage (4,000 miles a month), that the rental company would swap out my Ford Fiesta every 5 - 6 weeks, because it needed servicing, or was being sold on as having reached "end of rental life".
Although I mostly drove my own car for many years (30K - 60K a year). When I finally qualified for a company car, the fleet manager nearly had a fit, when I told her, that the 3 year mileage would be 90,000 miles (I was doing less miles by that time). She said that that wasn't possible. I said it was, and provided her with the fuel receipts and expenses claims for the previous 4 years to prove it.
