What is the life expectancy of a rental car?
ie. in general, how many years or how much mileage on the car, before it is retired from the rental company?
are there state laws restricting these things? (in CA)

It varies by company, but many retire the vehicle between 24 and 36K miles. If you are asking because you are considering a purchase, ask for the maintenance records of the car you want to purchase.
Some folks may disagree, but you almost can't beat a former rental car as a used car. They are usually very well maintained, and their records are very thourough. And as such, if a car has had an major repair issues, the rental car company usually has taken care of it before the sale.
To answer you question specifically, no less than the 150K to 250K miles of other cars.

The national rental car Co. only user the cars for limited amount of time, at most a year or so. Then they are returned and sold as low mileage program cars at the Dealer.

I don't think I would touch a rental car with a stick. As cheap as they are, people who drive them beat down on the cars because they have no regard for it. At least with a used car, its been with usually one owner. It just the history of sitting in a used car is rather unsettling. Save yourself the hassle and buy a real used car.

i would buy a used rental car but i'll make sure i get the maintennance record, history of the car and body repair and damage on the car, its usually good to buy a used rental car even though they have long mileage because they are well maintained and well recorded history of the cars' activity, but if you haave enouff money buy a new one, its safer and better. with warranties and everything thing else is new!
