used car dealer
Pre-owned vehicle merchant
A used car dealer is a person or business that sells previously owned vehicles.
The term carries connotations of aggressive sales tactics and questionable honesty—the stereotype of the fast-talking salesman who conceals mechanical problems and pressures buyers into bad deals.
He had all the charm of a used car dealer.
The phrase often appears as a shorthand for sleazy persuasion.
