They only have 3 cars right now, a 911 turbo, Corvette Grand Sport, and a Challenger R/T and I think they are all auto. > **[Redline Rentals of Buffalo](https://redlinerentalsbuffalo.com/)** > > Welcome to Redline Rentals of Buffalo > **Porsche Rates starting at** **$695** **$ 347.50 / 24hrs – GRAND OPENING SPECIAL 50% OFF on rentals before May 31st.** > **Corvette Rates starting at $**** 495 **** $ 247.50 / 24hrs – GRAND OPENING SPECIAL 50% OFF on rentals before May 31st** > **Challenger Rates starting at $2**** 95 **** $ 147.50 / 24hrs – GRAND OPENING SPECIAL 50% OFF on rentals before May 31st** ---

Where are the exotics? The challenger _might_ be a good deal for $150 to take to Lancaster or NYI to beat on. ---

A nice used 911 turbo cabriolet is what, about 60k (just looked on ebay quick)? So he needs 171 rentals before he breaks even on purchasing one, and that’s assuming zero maintenance, repair, insurance or other expenses (a huge assumption based on how a lot of people are going to treat a rented 911). My guess is this business lasts less than a year in WNY, especially considering our short nice car seasons. ---

A nice 997 turbo cab is probably closer to 80k unless he bought a high mileage or accident car ---

I usually rent premium or SUV also, end up paying a little more than midsize, but not much more. I use priceline and usually get a good deal because most people are fighting over economy cars for some reason, because they think those are cheapest. Last rental was a new maxima, which was the premium car, and I paid less than economy for it. This was enterprise in round rock. ---

The type of person that is going to spend $600+/day to rent a car is going to have enough money to have one of their own at home and won’t give a shit about driving their mile’d out rentals. ---

I have several out of town customers who keep cars here for when they come to town. When they do rent, they rent premium luxury. Typically town cars. For short trips they sometimes will hire a driver. We don’t have the mentality to rent exotics. Not what we’re used to. That said, I hope they do well. ---

If I am going somewhere that needs an SUV, I get the premium one. If I am going for cheap, I am not getting an SUV tho. I would be shocked if they are booking cars. I just don’t see this being a viable business but I guess people said that about the pet rock as well. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/redline-exotic-rentals/269475.md?page=2)
