The Borg 'rent me for an hour' fleets are aging out, and being sold off. I've seen several on used car lots, sans logo, but still in all of their orange glory. I used one once when I didn't have a pickup, your basic stock pickup 1 ton with zero amenities. I chatted with a dealer about one the other day (he'd asked why I was photographing another property), he said they're going cheap, but have fairly low miles and seem to be pretty well maintained. ALways a dodgy business taking his word of course, but I checked out the one on his lot, it was clean inside and other than being fairly basic it was a solid F350 single cab. I found it interesting that they're not being kept around by the bean counters, for the little that they actually get used (at least around here) they can't be too beaten up by the renters.
Not something I need right now of course, or could afford as a luxury item, but for someone doing a contracting job or a landscaper etc..., looking for an alread depreciated vehicle they might be worth something.
