Hi Scotti. Love the videos.
Is it better to buy a car that just came off a lease, from the rental company such as hertz or just go for the lowest mileage. I need a car for my daughter who is off to school next year. Obviously this is oversimplified but it eliminates some of the options that have pitfalls.
If you're into buying from dealers an off-lease car is probably the best bet. Those are typically being turned in because the lease is up rather than being "gotten rid of" due to severe problems and tend to have fairly low mileage. (I'd still insist on a thorough diagnosis by a 3rd-party independent mechanic.)
I stay away from dealers myself and buy from private parties.
My thoughts exactly!
I wouldn't buy an ex-rental car myself. They get hammered on everywhere they go.
Buying a car from any rental car company is a gamble. Even if you find one with very low mileage (less than 10k), how do you know that vehicle was treated properly? Also to put into consideration- who are these mechanics who work on those vehicles when they get put in the shop for whatever reason?
What type of vehicle are you looking into?
how do you know ANY vehicle was treated properly?
I bought an off-lease. They can be a good deal. Just know what you're getting into. Read the history, and have it inspected first.
Give her whatever you are driving and get a new one for yourself.
That would be my brand new 2021 Sorento. My wife drives a 2019 Sorento. I would buy another one. Three Sorento's parked in my front of my house?
I meant that as a rhetorical question. You want me to buy another Kia?
