Original Message
I need to buy a car by the end of the year. I hate to buy new--the depreciation kills me. I started looking at newer used cars and was surprised to find several car rental places that had what seemed like really good deals. (2019 Hyundai Elantra $12K; 2019 Ford Fusion $15K; 2018 Nissan Altima $13K; 2018 Ford Mustang Coupe $20K) All these mentioned have ~20-22K miles. Hertz & Avis seem to have the best inventory.
I imagine these cars are well-maintained, but don't know anyone who's actually purchased one. Would love to hear other's experiences buying a rental car.
I keep my cars forever. Currently driving a 12 y/o Chrysler Sebring, which was my first "new" car--and got it for <17K new. I bought it on Dec 30 and they were glad to get it off their lot to avoid paying taxes on it, otherwise I doubt I would have even looked.
Or maybe I should wait until the end of December and see if I can find a deal like I did back in '08. Hmmmmmm.
