Before you buy a new car in Seattle... Buy a used rental car instead. You might be thinking... "are you nuts?" Well, not exactly and here's why… Rental companies replace their vehicles every year or two... And no, not because they are beaten up. They want to have the latest models to impress their customers. So they sell last year's models cheap to get rid of them fast. This makes it much easier to get approved for a car loan. (and way more affordable) Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans are available
