Recession car deals

Doubt they would make it to market, would most likely be snatched up internally

Not that I want a car that was a former rental, but wonder what their R8's and porches etc will fetch.

I used to know someone who managed a rental place and he said he wouldn't hesitate to buy a retired rental. They're properly maintained and they dump them with super low mileage, so really, how bad could it be?
I know I've never abused a rental but I also know that me >> most, so... But fuck - how bad can it be?

Fuck it. I don't want one, either!

Former rental cars are maintained about the same as any used car. And guess what, a big percentage of CPO cars at dealerships ARE former rentals.

That must be declared though, right? Is that an Alberta thing? In BC, I think there's a box required to tick and it oddly categorized Rental, Leased or Raced in the same category. LoL!

I dunno, does it? Calgary region alone has ~3000 rental cars a year that end up at dealerships.

Is the Chevy Aveo the fanciest car in the Hertz catalogue?

[Buster]

does Hertz have Ridgelines or other compact trucks they might dump?

A Canadian one maybe, but every rental I've ever had in the US with more than 15k miles on it has been completely bagged to hell. They abuse the fuck out of cars down there.

Hertz wants $60K for Z06 = $85K before import cost.


$91K get you a new one just outside of Edmonton

I don't think the conversion rate is quite that bad. You are correct, though - Still a hard no.

That doesn’t factor in the spread from actual institutions... so it’s actually even worse!
