used car
Pre-owned automobile
A used car is a vehicle that has had previous owners, as opposed to a new car sold fresh from the manufacturer.
The term often carries connotations of uncertainty about condition and history: He bought a used car that turned out to be a lemon.
A used car salesman is a stock figure of untrustworthiness, someone who might conceal defects to close a deal.
