Not unreasonable to do

Most rentals are only a few days and modern cars can take a lot of abuse. And unless it's performance car like a Mustang/Camaro, etc, people generally aren't hooning around in them. Plus, rental car companies pay attention to servicing because they can't afford to have a car out of service. So while they may not get an oil change at 5K miles, it's probably done at 7500 and if they are dumping the cars every 25K or so there just aren't gonna be a lot of issues from it having 50+ drivers. Most people just drive them.
Given a thorough inspection and maybe extending the warranty, they do seem like an OK deal if you find something you like for the right price.
