Nothing unusual. Anyone who rented a car (especially with me in it) knows never to buy an ex-rental car.

depends who drove it, pun intended.

If you know that prices aren't good that something else.

Get a techie with you who tells you the condition of the car.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

40% off new car prices, or comparable used car purchased elsewhere? The 3 year warranty on a rental car is big, but I wonder if it'll cover engine and/or transmission...

Nah, its been that way since 1947  8) Apparently it has to do with the strong Israeli sun. Black absorbs a lot more sunlight then white therefore it gets a lot hotter.

At least they have all other colors now, when I was a kid I remember nearly all the cars in Israel were white.

All cars in Israel come standard in white and considering the taxes Israeli's pay for cars, I don't think they want to pay even more for color.

Incorrect. I don't own a car, but walked someone thru the entire process. No such thing.
