But there's no way I'd buy a former rental car - I know how people treat those cars. Not sure what part of the country you're in, but in my area most rental cars are driven from the airport to a hotel and back and nothing more. I personally owned a japanese econobox that came off Enterprise after 18 months and I drove it for 100,000 miles. So YMMV (pun intended) but rental cars are usually a great deal for the price. The companies get the car cheap to begin with, they're maintained on schedule, and usually sold off fairly early in their lifetime with low mileage to keep the flow from the factory coming.
