Hertz Car Sales

[Lizard King]

Anyone ever bought a car from Hertz or Enterprise? Yes, I realize these are cars people rent, but some of the higher end cards I have been renting are very nice, well maintained and not beat up. Prices on these low mile cars are so much better than the dealer. Compared a Cadillac XTS and a Chrysler 300S to the dealer and they are a good $5 - $7K cheaper with lower miles.

Do they offer a warranty?

Do they offer a warranty?

12 month/12,000 mile. A Caddy with under 30K miles should still have the dealer warranty as well I would assume.

I'm not categorically opposed to buying from a rental agency, but if you're gonna take the risk, why buy a goddamn Chrysler?

The family station wagon (today they're mini-vans) are more likely to be beat by your teenage boy than a rental car is by adult drivers paying for and responsible for their signed agreement. Rental agencies are also under contract for scheduled maintenance intervals, meaning they get done. Check the car's CARFAX report for collisions and recalls. We bought a 'fleet Caddy' with 19k and it came with 50k of oil changes at any Caddy dealer nation wide.

I drove our Cadillac 2400 miles with one overnight stop. No shifting in my seat to get comfortable, all kinds a safety features, amazing comfort and plenty of power. Get the Caddy.

Was just using it as a price reference, but the new 300S was a really nice ride.

Years ago I was shipping out and wanted to leave my first wife with dependable transportation

Loved it and saved alot of cash

I beat up every rental, I assume others do the same....Find a buddy with a wholesale lic. u will get the best deals at the auction.....You will have to pay with cash, but u could always get a loan afterwards to get the cash back or hopefully the buddy will offer financing.....The rental cars Hertz cant sell go to the auction.....

Only rental I have beat up was the Challenger Plumb Perfect Hemi I had a few weeks ago, thing was a BEAST!

I don't think people are renting a Caddy to beat the shit out of, at least I don't when I have one.

Caddy, Benz, BMW.....I beat them all up

And I would never buy a used caddy as I would be afraid a few bodies might have been in the trunk

You can get good money for used Caddy corpses at auction nowadays.

I’ve never bought a car from them. And knowing how I beat the hell out of the rentals I have, guessing other do as well.

I’ve been leasing a car the last several years. Negotiations and a smaller payment than buying and you get to keep the extra cash in your pocket. Check it out
