The 5 speed rental came back - still has a clutch!
Our 5 gear Grand Am came back from it's first rental. 1800 kms were put on it, by a nice, older British couple. I swear that thing came back cleaner than when it went out! I asked him what kind of fuel economy he had gotten from it, he replied "good" but then went on to say he had tried to figure out his MPGs but got confused between U.S. and Imperial gallons. Oh well, it is already booked out for tomorrow morning, so maybe the next person will make an effort to figure out their mileage. The car had 127k kms when I bought it, I paid $2400 for it, and the first rental made us $700. I have a running bet with my business partner that the car will pay for itself before it comes back on a tow truck needing a clutch. I think if we get a run of older British couples renting it I will be a shoe-in to win!
