Now that the company has filed for Chapter 11, it has until the end of the year to get rid of 182,000 cars in its U.S. fleet.
That could mean discounts for car shoppers of more than 10 percent. This is welcome news as buyers may not find a whole lot of deals among used cars.
The average price of a used car is up over $700 in July, according to Edmunds, due to buyers flooding the market and a shortage of used cars for sale.
The best buys have been evaluated by iSeeCars.
