The Engine knock would have still happen irrespective of Rental valve but in this case he would have gotten #40000 x 4 weeks x 6months = #960,000 as against #35,000 x 4 weeks x 6 months = #840,000 or less.
Engine knocking is a function of engine health and maintenance not rental value.

My point is, you should have a balance, while trying to recoup your investment, make sure the car is being taken care of

thebigkendo:


I can make sure my car is bn taken care of & still collect "good" rental win win..
okay what if I collect "bad" rental and car is still not bn taken care of? Driver go park your knocked engine & look for another car to drive

alstarmayo:
and what happens when you get good rental value for 6 months and your engine knocks, there has to be a balance

dru23:


Well so far so good. Most of my cars have been running for past seven months now. If I can't get value for my car, I will either park some of them sell it and move on or ride it out, which everone comes first. Time will tell ... and regardless how you look at it . If you give out your car for even 20k a week. There is the possibility that the driver will still flog the car and trying to make double than the owner.
The bottom line is wheather you get value for your car or not . Drivers will still flog your car.. Wheather you give them rental for 15k a week they will still complain and tell you business is slow. That is the reality of the business, when business was good they still complain. It's a tough business bro...

Gazzuzz mentioned how he started daily oil level/colour inspection. What I was expecting is Partners like yourself stating how you do your own periodic inspection of your cars, because I notice most partners just do a walk around, to ensure there's no scratch or dent.
Some partners don't even want to know about the less than 5k maintenance, that was done by the driver on their car"
If my driver wants to do a minor maintenance, I want to know he's doing the right thing, and not turn a deaf ear, because it's less than 5k, he should take care of it.
The initial post and my reply is not about weekly rental.

I do inspection every two weeks. My manager does is own inspection and he changes the oil religiously

thebigkendo:

Ohhh now I get you.. I agree with you full time, maintenance is very important, but you know some Partners have full time jobs.. So they cannot always be available to ensure the driver does the right thing or use the correct part for any less than 5k maintenance.
We all know that some drivers even with a 10k or 15k rental,they will still use substandard part or ignore faults till it gets worse and becomes over 5k maintenance.
A good rental value(33-40k)is kinda like an insurance, in the event of car breakdown which will surely happen, partner would have made reasonable returns and from the money the car has made, the partner would be able to fix the car right.

For a Toyota Corolla (2003-2006) you are barely breaking in the engine @ 70,000 miles or 112,000 kilometres if the vehicle was regularly serviced. I have read about many going well over 200,000 miles or 320,000 kilometres easy.
