Just think about all the dumb shite that you've done in a rental car, that would be enough to stop most people.

I would NOT. Those cars are not treated well most of the time and are driven hard. Buy a new one or a gently used one

I would if the price was right. I've rented 2 cars in my life and I had a couple loaners from the dealership, I drove them like I drive my own car.

Most rentals end up being sold wholesale or at auction and they get bought by dealers and stuck on their own used car lots for sale to the public and you'd never know it was a rental. Many times these are the ones the rental company deemed unacceptable to sell to the public on their own lots.

So, in reality if you are buying directly from a rental company you are likely getting the best of the best of their inventory. They wouldn't be in business long if they had a reputation of selling shite cars. I have had a few family members buy rentals and would do it again.

Also consider rental companies buy in bulk discount most of the time so they can in return afford to resell the vehicle at lower prices once their rental lives are done.

I wouldn't, people tend to abuse the shite out of rental cars.

This the truth. If you are buying a used car from a dealership or used car lot, there is a decent chance it was a rental anyways.
