Rentals usually have very on-time oil changes, like every 2k or 3k. And everything usually works on them with no hidden dashboard lights or obscured problems. People used to say that rentals have been driven hard. Well, if you live in a large city like I do, you will see that many people drive their own personal vehicle awful. I’d trust a rental more than I would a private sale these days. At least you don’t have to worry about the ads that say “little senior lady owned it” which never is the truth, and “there’s nothing wrong with it” which is almost always not true, and then the posting of the photos from when they first acquired the car, several years earlier, rather than a true current condition photo of it. I’d say Go For It.
