Although Hertz has a good reputation for maintaining their cars well (between rentals), and the FX is a nice car, rentals tend to live very rough lives while in the hands of the renters. Many get abused. That's not to say they're junk, it just that the miles were put on by people who could care less about the car, which tends to shorten life expectancies. And big rental car companies Hertz dump their cars around 24K, because there's still a few miles left on the warranties to entice buyers, but not long before they need bigger ticket normal maintenance items like tires/brakes/30K service.
If you're determined to buy one, look at it carefully and unemotionally. Good luck.
This.
Also note that the FX would be part of the executive series or luxury lines for rental cars. These tend not to be abused
as much as their economy, midsize, and convertible brethren. I'd off much less than that- you could do better on a private party sale with maintenance history.
