Enterprise buying used cars to rent out?
My car got hit and is in the shop and I used Enterprise for my rental as it was more convenient and generally seems to have nicer cars for cheaper rates than Hertz's on insurance rentals. I was allocated a G37x in CT with CT plates. However, it had NYS registration stickers and I investigated and found out that Enterprise bought the car used earlier this year with ~28k miles on it (had 30k when I got it) I saw 2 other G37x, a Yukon and MKZ with new style CT plates and NYS stickers on their lot so I suspect that they were also bought used. Maybe they were dealer loaner cars that they scooped up cheaply? I believe I read that Enterprise has a contract with Dodge to buy off lease cars (1 year leases). Is this a trend now?
My G37x had a horrible metallic noise coming from the drive shaft when acceleration ~40mph to 70mph so I had to return the car. They treated me to a 2015 Acadia Denali with a free tank of gas as compensation.
