The major car-rental companies operate their own
used car lots. Rental cars are driven hard but the
companies maintain them pretty well and offer a warranty.

I would like to hear people's experiences/opinions regarding
the purchase of used cars from car-rental companies.
How badly are the cars damaged by the treatment they get from renters ?
Are they priced competitively ?
Do the companies live up to the warranty ?

I think there was a discussion of this topic within the last
two years but I was not follow it then.
If anybody out there kept an archive of the discussion, I would
appreciate receiving it.

If I get interesting responses, I will, of course, post
a summary on the net.
