Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Who rents the 4000
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
How big it is
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
A longer test drive
Rent the 4000 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the 4000 on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
