I bought my former 152 from the local flight school when they went out of business. I was renting it in the previous 6 years (took lessons and checkride in it), so I knew its history. If you're renting from the school that sells the planes, then you might have had personal experience with those planes. If not, go talk to the students who rented them and/or the mechanics that work on them.
