I don't know much about used car prices but I heard that Hertz is dropping prices now that they've declared bankruptcy and need to get rid of inventory to shore up cash.

Is it worse buying a car from hertz than any other used car dealership?

You dont want a car that was used without regard for the car, such as from a rental company.
When you buy a used car from a dealer you should try to find out who/what the previous owner was.
I'm not who you think I am.

Even if I get it checked out by a good mechanic? I'm trusting him to find a hidden problem no matter where the car is from.

I agree with the reasoning not to buy a rental, but anecdotally, I bought a rental minivan two years ago and I never had any issues. Halevei veiter...

If it's enough cheaper I see why it could be worth the risk
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

With a rental car you know it was maintained and serviced regularly, which is a pro compared to many used cars.

+1000 and it's mostly 20 year olds ( read: bachurim & college students) who are beating up vehicles which only accounts for a tiny fraction of the rental vehicles on the market.

Lol
I know a few roadtrip camps that only wanted the guys to drive minivans for safety.
