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? Anyone would be grateful to buy a used car with this maintenance record. And what if that year-old car also came with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty* and a seven-day repurchase agreement*?

Actually, this scenario requires no imagination. Today’s used car buyer has access to literally tens of thousands of these types of late-model, high-quality certified used cars via car rental companies.

The truth is used rental cars are some of the best buys in the used car market. These vehicles, while driven by multiple motorists, receive more care than the average consumer-owned vehicle. But 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 fleet services vehicles. This might be the best opportunity for used car buyers to buy a quality used rental car – and all the advantages that come with the purchase.

Enterprise is unique in that each vehicle passes a 109-point inspection by an independent ASE-certified technician and comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty* and a seven-day/1,000-mile repurchase agreement*.

• Late models: The typical used rental car for sale at Enterprise Car Sales is one to two years old. This creates a selection of vehicles that are new, stylish, and sought after.

• One owner: If offered a vehicle owned by an auto expert committed to vehicle maintenance and care, the   average used car buyer would probably sign sight unseen. Enterprise Car Sales rental cars offer this opportunity. Cars are their business; their livelihood depends on keeping their vehicles expertly maintained.

 • Low mileage: The rental vehicle usually has less than 30,000 miles when it is put up for sale.

 • Reasonable prices: All vehicles sold by Enterprise Car Sales are priced below NADA or Kelly Blue Book Used Car Retail Values™**, and with our no-haggle policy, buyers get this price without the pressure of bargaining.
