I've bought 1 year old ex rental cars in the past and had no problems. They cosmetically had more dings and scratches but didn't suffer any major breakdowns from alleged abuse. Sounds like there will be some great deals in the used car market soon.
Hertz Car Rental Fire sale Monday
- Thread starter dareo
- Start date
I bought 2 Fords in the 70's from Hertz in NJ. They had been NY airport cars. Never had any trouble with them. I don't think they serviced them very well back then.
Last night I found some 19 Tundras in Tx for around $30k. 15-25k miles. Crew cab, 4wd, tow pkg and bed liners.
Several 19 Yukons around $30k plus In Va.

I recently purchased a 2018 Chevy Cruze Premier with approx. 28000 miles from Enterprise and I am very pleased with it. Both interior and exterior are in excellent condition, the car drives well and the price was lower than similar offerings from Carvanna and CarMax with more miles. I searched extensively for the Premier trim and I found few worthy examples in the New York metro area. It is my first rental car purchase but the process was so transparent that it may not be my last.

Is that a good deal? A quick search suggested that MSRP for a base model was under $20K.
IMO, yes AWD is > $1200 option and there is no destination fee (which is probably $1000); so bare bones, a car that is discounted over $6000 for 20K miles.

I'm surprised how many cars they have for sale with more than 80K miles. I would be shocked if I picked up a rental with that many miles. Usually, I get 20K or less, more than a few times I've received cars with less than 10 miles on them.

Prices would need to be much more aggressive to move me and looking there isn't any model they have for sale I would want.

There was a bunch of 2018-19 Nissan Rogue AWDs within ~200 miles of me earlier today on the Hertz site for $13-14K. Don't see'em now.

In terms of buying ex-rentals, I've never had a problem and have had a few domestic ex-rentals as well as Hyundais and Nissans. CVTs even!. My 2016 Quest and current 2019 Pathfinder might have come from Hertz.
I do browse the Hertz cars sales site from time to time. I paid just uder $24K for my 2019 Pathfinder with 23K miles on it in Oct 2019. You can buy a 2018 with 40K on it through Hertz now for around $16K. Wow. My resale went from Nissan bad to horrible.
I recall EAN Holdings (National & Enterprise) is the largest rental car company.

He was guilty in the civil trial, I don't think he ever paid though.

And again no sane person would brake torque or off-road a freaking Kona. But I want a Stinger GT2 AWD and with a former rental would be afraid of the forth and fifth laws of thermodynamics; 4) No good deed goes unpunished and 5) As horsepower and torque increase, responsible decisions decrease.

LOL. I brake torqued the company Prius back in the day. Didn't really do much to help the mediocre acceleration. The only redeeming quality on that car was the fuel economy.

Huh? No they don't. Normal depreciation is about 50% in 38-40 months.

You brake torque whatever car the rental company gives you. It's just for fun, that's what they're for. When you're used to a much faster car, you tend to flog the rental. A friend of mine did off road a Jeep once, read the contract afterwards which said no off roading. They didn't know though because we gave it a car wash afterwards so it looked fine.
