Who? · 05-29-2013, 08:46 AM

Hi, my cars getting serviced from bmw for 2 days, and i got a courtesy car..
i work 50km away from my house, so im doing 130(isn)km a day.. should i be feeling bad about this?

the car is very new (only 300km on the clock)

Don't feel bad!! I drove the x5 for three days n before I return it today I have like 85km to go

treat them as hire car, just put the petrol back as courtesy if driven for long distance. To me, i will drive the same car to work and as usual for business customer visits.

I once took a loaner during a service which happened to line up with a family trip from Miami, FL to Disney World in Orlando, FL, so I put like 1k over 3 days

No-1 cared.

Courtesy cars are there to be used. Last time I had one I did all my garden shopping at Bunnings. I cleaned the mess but used the courtesy car in case of any staining

but the car is newer than mine! (and someone is apparently buying it this friday lol) hence my guilt

Ah um yes if you know someone is actually buying that is not a courtesy car they must have given you a demonstrator

I once took my car in for service and told them specifically I needed the car back the next day as I needed to drive to Sydney for a week (I lived in Melb at the time). Of course they didn't give it back in time so I took the loan car for my holiday
