I second renting from hertz. I rented from them last summer for around $1500 with a triple AAA membership. I was under 25 and they wave the "under 25 fee" with AAA. If you don't have AAA, it's worth paying for it for at least a year to save on your car rental, otherwise you're probably looking closer to about $4000 for a rental. Also, another tip to save money is to rent the car from a Hertz location that's away from the airport. You can take a taxi/uber from the airport to the rental location and save an average of $1000.
The problem with buying is arranging for purchase and sale on the exact times you need it. What if you can't sell it before you leave? You also have to pay for car insurance and repairs in case the car breaks down. There's a lot of little extras to consider when buying a car.
