In the market and wondering if people actually do this? Is it worth it to look? They offering any deals that dealerships aren’t?

| People do. Is it a good idea? No. |

| We did. We got a much better price than just buying used. The type of car we got wasn’t a good choice, but I don’t know if that was the fault of it being a rental. It had 20k miles I think when we got it. |

| I did in 2018. It was a 2016 Kia Soul with about 40,000 miles on it for just under 10k. It's been a great car for me, so far no work other than routine maintenance and a new serpentine belt. The experience was also incredibly easy. I had seen it on the website, got my financing set, and walked right in to test drive and buy it. |

| We did twice. Great experience both times. The one we bought in 2010 is still running. |

| I used to work for enterprise and staffed some of the car sales. Way back when, the cars weren’t super well maintained so I’d be a bit cautious. But you can certainly get deals. |

| I would. I ended up buying new as I couldn't get what i wanted. If you look at places like car max, they get their cars often from car rentals. |
