Purely anecdotal but the "ex-demo" I took out for a test drive (current plate job with I think under 10k miles) was also the courtesy car for people who had their cars in for work, while I would hope people would treat such a car with respect, I can't help but think some would treat it with less care than their own which puts me off.
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

For various reasons I won't go into, I did around 10K miles in a pair of courtesy cars last year.
They felt every single one of those miles keenly, I can assure you.0 -
