I've owned rental cars and always found them to be well maintained and in excellent condition.
I've owned off lease, isn't that just another form of rental? In fact the one I currently have just turned 200k miles and I'd drive it anywhere.
I know there are people who are afraid of rentals, or ones with minor wrecks, or demos or even brand new cars with over 10 miles...
I don't understand it but am totally willing to take advantage of the financial stigma attached to them. Especially when they come with a good warranty.
Heck, I recently found out that there's a local(ish) Ford dealer that specializes in selling repaired lemon law cars for like half the price of new. Next time I need a car I'm absolutely checking their stock.

First 2 sound like terrible options. Rental was beat to shit I am sure.. the accident one, well has an accident.. the other one seems like the best out of those choices. 2k more than I paid for my 21 brand new tho.. not premium but still

There’s a dealer out there too that at least used to do the same thing.

I would have just waited until the perfect one for me came along. That’s what I did when I bought mine… it took 6 months to get one with everything I wanted but it was worth the wait. And I was able to save up more for a down payment while I was waiting! I also had to drive 3 hours to get to the dealership lol. Not an issue when you’re driving your dream car back!

You bought it already. Enjoy your car and try not to second guess your purchase.

I bought mine with 35k miles on it and it had one owner. No accidents and no warranty considering it’s a 16 and I got it end of 2020. Just shy of 3 more months until warranty was up. Honestly it’s been good to me so far and I put A LOT of miles on it since then. When you start second guessing it’s always going to bother you. I would say go with the one owner choice if you still can. Or if you can’t change it, just enjoy the F out of it.

Always going to find a car you should have gotten. With the market the way it is, it’s nice to have one that is affordable. Like the other said you’ve got a lot more extra to make that car standout. Lower it, get some nice wheels, and exhaust. It will stand out way more than the nicer option ones.

$43k USD is $54,537.42. That is still less than I paid for my 2021 last year. 65k CAD but it is fully loaded.

I paid $43k for my 2021 401a (no PP1 but otherwise loaded to the gills) last October. I ordered it exactly because of this used market. Choice 3 is the best one here, I think, but I like my car a lot better than choice 3. It's newer and has more options for the same money. And of course when you order you get your color and interior, and your wheels, so no regrets. This is my second S550 and corrects all the mistakes I made ordering my 2015 sight-unseen.
