Default Would you consider buying a service loaner?

Considering a '15 S60 T5 base service loaner with 1400 mi for my daughter. Low miles but I have my reservations because I know how I have driven loaners and rent cars. It's a very significant discount and I'm trying to convince myself Volvo owners don't drive like Porsche owners.... right? Would you consider it? A factor: We keep cars to about 80-90k mi and I suspect she'll likely do the same.

I posted a question about engine break-in and there is evidently no recommended break-in procedure.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Most car motors are "run in" prior to installation and thus eliminating new engine break in period.

Yes I would purchase it because it is STILL under warranty and most people DO NOT abuse loaners because they don't want to be responsible for paying for damage that may occur during their possession.

I ended up passing. The decision was easy when I saw someone pull off the lot full throttle in a loaner. Don't want to buy a new car and worry about reliability due to abuse, warranty or not. The warranty runs out at 50k mi anyway.
