man that’s a hot deal!

[TalBlack]

Someone whose needs are within the Teslas limited parameters will jump on it. Or a third card or something.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I wouldn’t buy one for $3. 😏

[frank ballenger]

1) Hertz is hoping to find patsies to buy the things.

2) “Did you ever sell a car used that you really wanted to hold onto?” I know there have been exceptions but mostly they breathe a long sigh of relief they finally unloaded the thing. Somebody else’s problem now.

[Scrambler Bob]

Depends on the warrantee and service schedule offered.

[GreyFriar]

Considering that northern Indiana has had sub-zero temps for several days with more to come this winter, I’d be an idiot to buy one or even accept one as a gift. Thus, heck NO.

[Reno89519]

If they give it a 100K warranty from time of sale, including the battery, sure.

Hertz always sells vehicles at a discount after 2-3 years or 40,000 miles. We bought our 2018 Nissan Murano with 43,000 miles from Hertz in Scottsdale. We financed through Capital One’s Navigator program which meant absolutely no haggling. The entire process was a breeze and the car has had no problems other than needing a new battery 2 yrs ago. Hertz is vigilant about the maintenance schedules for their rental cars, contrary to public opinion.

Not a chance!
Once we can recharge them by plugging a USB cable into my lap top and drive them for 1000 miles towing our bassboat, I’ll reexamine my views...

[Kenny Bania]

Personally, I wouldn't buy a car from a rental car company. I hear the renters "beat the hell out of them..."

[jacknhoo]

You’d much happier with a 2012 Lexus IS250 that you would still have 200k maintenance free miles on:

[T.B. Yoits]

Some video maker will buy a few and destroy them on video to get thousands upon thousands of clicks.

[TornadoAlley3]

No. The repairs cost twice that much.

[rfp1234]

That depends. Have Hertz rehired O.J. as their killer spokesman?

[BobL]

“Hertz is offloading used Tesla Model 3s from its fleet at a deep discount. “

Until Hertz offloads the TOTAL IDIOT who thought jumping in full-throttle with EVs was a good idea, they’ll keep losing money.

[tflabo]

Maybe as a 2nd vehicle that is driven in town for running errands or for summer driving whereas the primary vehicle is a fuel powered engine and used for longer trips. To buy the discounted Hertz Tesla as the only vehicle then no way.

[fidelis]

[Leaning Right]

I saw no mention in the article of any included extra batteries.

[Responsibility2nd]

I love how a car that sold new back in the day for over $60K is now worth $14,000.

Would I buy one? No. I’m retired. But when I was working my office had employee parking with some charging stations. Free!

It would have benefited me a lot to own a Tesla since my commute was 50 miles. Each way. But the $50K price tag was too much. I bought a VW Jetta for under $20,000 that got 40 mpg.

Problem solved.

[VideoDoctor]

Sounds like a GREAT opportunity to buy a "piece of $HIT!"
