When you sell a car vs renting one you realize what a massive scam car rental services are.

I hope we can come up with a better system one day.

I just traded in a car I bought 5 years ago for 20K and got 10K for it. If I'd sold it myself I would have gotten more.

I put about 85,000 miles on it during that time and of course I spent a few hundred dollar on maintenance during that time.

The last car I rented cost me $800 for one week and it was a newer model of the same car I traded. Wild.

Why did you sell it for 10K instead of renting it out for 40K per year?

Haha I suppose I could have tried.

If I could have someone else manage all the leg work of renting it and cleaning it I'd consider that.
