Mechanical devices wear into a driver's pattern, and I can see a loaner breaking more quickly.
What is worst? An occasionally abuse loaner or some used car that is owned by someone who abuse it every day. Of course when you buy a used car, the salesman will tell you that every used car is owned by a old lady who drives it just on weekends My point is, its all pot luck, there is no guarantee a used car will have less problems than a used car, even a CPO.
