"Everyone beats on rentals"
Common myth, most people who are renting cars are not teenaged joy riders. Rental companies don't loan cars to drivers under 25, anyway. Mostly business people who go a short distance from an airport or families on vacation rent. And the major firms keep maintenance records. I've had two former rentals and there were no problems that could be traced to "being beaten".
There's the "Jackass" movie with the guy who took a rental to a race track, but that's one out of millions of regular non-joyriding customers per year.
RE: Hi mileage cars, one good thing is that the depreciation cost is past. The $2800 '99 will not lose as much money as a lower mileage car. Just make sure it was taken care of and has had things fixed.
