So would you buy a vehicle that was used by one of the major rental car companies? In this episode, Jhae is joined by Joe Nieves to talk about his 10+years working in the industry and what rental car companies are doing, or should be doing in order to keep their vehicles in great condition to eventually be sold off to banks who in turn, sell them to the public.
