I also went to a Chrylser dealership and test drove a red 07 2.5s with 24k miles on it (carfax confirms this one was a rental too). They gave me their rock bottom price of $14,655 OTD last night. Today I got a call and they offered $14k OTD.

Both cars drove well during my tests and didn't have any exterior or interior issues that I could see.

Lots of you were saying not to buy a rental, but I'm still riding the fence on this one.

What if I call up one of those independent mechanics to look at the car before I purchase it? I think they run $150 to look at a car?

Having a mechanic look at it is a good idea if you're not sure what to look for. Do any of those dealerships offer warrantees or anything for those cars? Sometimes, the side effects of car abuse won't rear it's head until thousands of miles later...

I still agree with most of the posters here....rentals =
