Let’s face it, the pandemic took a lot out of the economy and many businesses are hurting, especially the rental car industry. With the lack of people traveling and overall economic downturn, Hertz ended up having to file for bankruptcy, which meant that they won’t be adding new cars to their fleet and they have to get rid of the old ones. Luckily, for anyone that’s in the market for a used car, now is the time to buy as Hertz Car Sales are selling many newish car models for well below market pricing. iSeeCars published a whole list of them, but here are five of the best examples.

2018 Nissan Versa Note

The Nissan Versa Note was discontinued back in 2019, however, it did provide a very sensible means of transportation. It was fuel-efficient, reliable, and had a very spacious interior thanks to its hatchback body style, but it wasn’t the most fun car to drive, according to Motortrend. Either way, we would recommend it for anyone that is in need of a set of wheels and like the sound of getting 31 mpg in the city and 39 on the highway. When it was new, the Nissan Versa Note retailed between $16,500 and $17,000, but on the Hertz Car Sales site, you can find them for around $10,000 with a low amount of miles.

2019 Chevrolet Trax

The Chevrolet Trax is a compact SUV that provides a lot of passenger and cargo room and a little bit of tech. We’re referring to its standard 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes Android Auto and Apple Carplay capability. Otherwise, it does get a decent fuel economy rating of 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, but don’t expect any neck-snapping power out of its turbo four-cylinder that’s rated at 138 horsepower. At Hertz, you can expect to pay around $12,000 to $14,500 depending on the car’s mileage, which is a lot better than the full retail cost of $21,000 to $25,000

2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

If you’re looking for something a little more luxurious, then you can get a Mercedes-Benz A-Class from Hertz Car Sales. The A-Class is Mercedes-Benz’s entry-level subcompact sedan that’s packed with a lot of tech-savvy features and the level of luxury that you would expect from the brand. The backseat is rather small as is the trunk, but if you don’t mind that, then you can expect to pay around $27,000 at Hertz, which is much lower than the typical price of around $33,000.

2019 Infiniti QX50

If you need something luxurious but are in need of more space, then the Infiniti QX50 might suit you well. The QX50 features an upscale and spacious interior with a comfortable ride and plenty of tech features like Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It also comes standard with forward collision warning and blind-spot monitoring. You can find one at Hertz for around $27,000, which is about $10,000 less than a new one.

2018 Kia Forte

The Kia Forte is a great choice if you’re looking for an affordable compact car. It has ample cargo and passenger room, a refined four-cylinder engine, a user-friendly infotainment system, and good safety ratings. The 2018 models cost around $17,000 when they were new, however, you can find them for around $10,000 at Hertz Car Sales right now.

It’s a great time to buy a car at Hertz Car Sales

At the risk of sounding like car salespeople, we can’t stress enough what a great time it is to purchase a used car at Hertz. And while most consumers would be wary when it comes to purchasing a used rental car, you can rest assured that these cars do come with a warranty and you can even rent them for a few days first before buying them. There are many other cars on the Hertz site for sale, however, these five are some of the best deals.
