Car from hertz car sales ?

has anyone bought a used car from hertz car sales ? they sell cars which are around 1 to 2 years old, and dont have much mileage on them, well taken care of ( supposedly ), i visited one of these dealers, i liked a mazda 2007 , 28 K miles, for under 13K, is it worth ? the car was nice to drive and look and i really liked it, but people have been discouraging me from going for a rental car, ... what all should i look out for ? should one buy a rental car ? would i be able to resell it ? what can i expect to get after say two years ? the kbb value is around 16500, am i paying the right money ? i havent checked the car fax yet.Car from hertz car sales ?
Your Answer:

That's a good deal on the Mazda. Buying a previous rental is a very good bargain and the cars in in excellent shape. Rental agencies must keep their cars in prime shape because of the heavy liability they'd face if something should happen to a customer while driving their cars. So that can't take any chances that their cars might break down or create a hazardous situation. They perform regular maintenance religiously.



Check the car fax report and take it for a test drive before deciding. Make sure all the accessories work, such as the power windows, a/c and cruise control, if it has these features. Check the brakes too by making a normal start. Do you feel any pulsation in the pedal? Does the pedal drop too low?



How about the transmission? Does it upshift smoothly? Or does it lurch or hold the gear too long? Does it downshift smoothly? What about the engine? Does it shake the car or does it idle smoothly?



You shouldn't have any problem with the car. Rental companies take better care of their cars than most individuals do. As for what it's worth in two years, nobody can answer that. The market is very vulnerable right now. The bottom has fallen out of used car prices. Just two years ago, they were at their strongest market value. Where they will be in two years from now is anybody's guess. The market may strengthen by then. But since you'll be buying it under book, you'll do just fine. Car from hertz car sales ?
Most people thrash rental cars. They're maintained regularly, but go back to my first sentence.
