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.

Can I ask, did you sell the car to one of those car buying/reselling places? If so, why did you choose that? It seems like 99% of people do that over just listing it on marketplace for example. I'm trying to gather data.

No I just traded at a dealership and part of the reason is because it's hassle free. I don't have to deal with any of the paperwork, taxes ect, but also because they had what I wanted.
