 Buying A Rental Car: Tips For Buying Late Models At Good Prices
Posted by carsandtrucks on Saturday, November 03 @ 14:25:20 PDT
Here is a way to buy a late model vehicle at a good price. Rental vehicles are purchased
directly from the manufacturer by the major rental companies at deeply discounted prices.
This means that when it is time to sell them they can let them go at lower prices.
Generally speaking rental companies sell these vehicles after 18 months of usage and the
mileage is less then 30000. These vehicles are sold either at the rental companies used
car lot or through auctions. If sold at auction, the auction is a closed to the public
auction and car dealers are the only ones bidding on the cars. Before you panic and think
if it is a rental car it probably has been abused, that is rarely the case. Rental
companies have a vested interest in keeping their vehicles in top mechanical condition. A
rental vehicle that breaks down is a rental vehicle that cost the company money. So
rental companies tend to make certain all preventitive maintenance and repairs are done
in a timely manner. If you are looking at a rental vehicle to .
purchase,like all used
cars, I would recommend a third party inspection just to give you peace of mind. You may
also want to consider purchasing an extended warranty. (see extended warranty article on
this site) So don't let the fact that it was used as a rental deter you from getting a
good vehicle at a good price
