Save Money Buying Well Maintained Used Cars
Buying a Used Car from a Rental Company
Conventional wisdom holds that by buying a used car from a rental company you buy all the neglectful behavior of all the drivers that rented the car. The argument goes that when someone rents a car they treat it with less respect and care than they do their own car. BS is what I say. Most people treat other people’s stuff better than they do their own. When they have signed a document and put down a deposit saying if I don’t take care of it I will pay for it, they are even more careful.
To top things off buying a car from a rental fleet means your buying a car that had a team of mechanics whose job it was to give the car regular maintenance and keep it in top running order. Why? Because they love these cars. No, because their employers are subject to law suits if their customers get injured in a poorly maintained rental car.
I’m not sure where the conventional wisdom that rental cars are a bad idea to buy comes from, maybe from other car dealers. The cars in these fleets always seem to be priced below market value. Rentals companies price them low to overcome the bad rep. That means good prices on well maintained cars.
