I must disagree....if you check out the car well, an ex-rental can be a splendid deal. I've bought two Toyotas from Hertz as ex-rentals, a '97 Camry (Japan made) and an '03 Avalon (from Georgetown). The Camry, which we've had going on nine years, has been the most trouble-free car we've ever owned, and we've put over 110 K miles on it. We've had the Avalon almost two years and 15 K miles later all we've done is put gas in it, changed oil and filter, and flushed the transmission. If I were to replace the Camry....simply because the odometer has lots of numbers on it now, Hertz would be the first place I'd shop for a "new" one.
