Kind of like when you have to move 1000 miles.

Last big move I made (1900 miles) I got all crazy and went to look at the actual trucks that each place was offering to rent to me... crazy huh??
Paid more for the Penske because it was the best condition, lowest mileage vehicle of the bunch. Had no issues except for the governor which precluded the high speed run from the Rockies to the Mississippi....
Even a brand new truck can have an issue. Sure, you have better odds by getting a newer truck but by waiting till the closing day to move, you stupidly placed yourself in a situation that if it fawks up, you are screwed. Now if you were a Jew in Hitler's time where the SS came to your door and made you move NOW at gunpoint, fair enough. Otherwise, as they say, poor planning on YOUR part does not constitute an emergency on MY part.
