What if you could find a used car that you knew had been well maintained the first year of its life - regular oil changes, brakes and other parts inspected often? What if that year-old car also came with an additional warranty and a 7-day repurchase agreement?
Actually, this scenario requires no imagination. Today's used car buyer has access to a wide selection of these types of late-model, high-quality certified used cars via car rental companies.
Used rental cars often are some of the best buys in the used car market. These vehicles, while driven by multiple motorists, receive much more care than the average consumer-owned vehicle. While many used car buyers understand the advantages of a used vehicle over a new car (especially the depreciation tied to new vehicles), they may not consider the benefits of purchasing a used rental car. In 2003, 1.7 million rental cars were sold in the United States. Many were passed directly to auctions and onto used car dealerships. However, tens of thousands were selected by rental companies for their own resale businesses. These vehicles represent the "cream of the crop."
For instance, most of the vehicles on Enterprise Car Sales lots are chosen from Enterprise Rent-A-Car's fleet of more than 700,000 rental and lease vehicles. This presents a great opportunity for used car buyers to buy a quality used rental car - and all the advantages that come with the purchase.
