Blog Writers Wanted

We've had some excellent feedback about the articles that we've posted thus far, and we'd love to keep publishing additional content.
These are very challenging times and we know that your love for beautiful old Benz's is a welcome distraction from pandemic news. We would love to be writing articles and making videos ourselves but we are far too busy fulfilling orders, assisting with parts requests, growing our catalog, and polishing our new website. So, we are seeking experienced writers to develop content for our website's blog.
In return, we are offering store credit towards any future purchase. We'll offer you $100 of store credit in exchange for an article of 2,000 words or more. I will work with you on the subject development, edit the article for SEO optimization, and add in photos.
If you are interested, please reply with a brief paragraph about your experience, a proposal of an article idea, and links to other articles you've written.

If you're looking for parts, please check out our online store. Also, remember that we have access to many parts that are not listed on our site, so if you need something and you can't find it, please don't hesitate to email us or call us toll-free at 1-833-MBZ-PART and we will do our best to source it for you!

Hertz Given Approval to Dump 200,000 Vehicles ASAP

by Matt Posky

While negotiating the terms of its bankruptcy with creditors, Hertz has been informed that it can sell 200,000 would-be rental vehicles to help cover its debts.

According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (approved Friday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, DE), Hertz will be allowed to "dispose of at least 182,521 lease vehicles" between now and the end of 2020. Proceeds will then be used to pay off $650 million it owes lenders, with most funds going toward principal payments on financed vehicles.

With the pandemic knocking out manufacturing for months, this is likely welcome news for buyers eyeballing the secondhand market. Dealer lots are light on fresh product at present and times are getting tougher for consumers, making used vehicles all the more appetizing. Even though former rentals have a tenancy to be abused, they typically to go for a bit less than something living a more carefree existence — and Hertz will be desperate to offload them quickly.

Someone hoping to sell their used ride may have missed their window to maximize their return, however. Hertz is about to flood the market, likely suppressing used prices for the rest of this year. The Wall Street Journal and CarScoops, which tipped us off to the SEC filing, had more:

Of course, used rental cars were already a bargain as they cost 5-15 [percent] less than what used car dealers charge. The discount varies by model, but a recent study showed Hertz vehicles are typically priced 8.0 [percent] below market value for an average savings of $1,389.

That same study showed the best bargains were on the BMW 7-Series, Chevrolet Trax and Mercedes A-Class. Customers can also score big discounts on the Infiniti QX50 and Toyota Tundra.

Hertz will make those sales as easy as it possibly can to ensure customers clean up its inventories, and it has loads of used models it's itching to get rid of on its website. You'll probably be able to talk them down on the price, too. Just remind them that they're the ones that need to make the sale to continue existing.

Assuming everything goes according to plan, Hertz Global Holdings has a real chance to keep lenders off its back for another year and return to business as usual with a much smaller footprint (and fleet). But that's the best-case scenario. Eventually the company has to resume normal operations or continue selling its fleet (totaling around 500,000 units before the big sell-off) until there's nothing left. Hertz's management of the crisis will play a major factor, though the final outcome will also be dictated by how the world responds to the ongoing pandemic.

If normalcy fails to return sometime in 2021, and rental demand remains severely depressed, Hertz will undoubtedly go belly-up.
