Thanks! Didn't know they end up going to the subprime finance focused dealerships. I was genuinely curious what happens to the classic rental cars because the Impalas were once pretty common in downtown and have disappeared from the streets. I thought they may have been sent back to GM for spare parts/scrapping since they are less desirable. I have seen some Chrysler 300s that I suspect are ex-rentals at retail dealers though given their age and miles.
Some subprime customers can be pretty rough on the cars, so they likely end up in junkyards sooner than they would if they were sold through other channels. Some however end up getting re-sold multiple times (old Tauruses are notorious for this)- customer buys it, defaults on the loan, car gets repo'ed, back on the lot, rinse, repeat.
