used cars
Previously owned automobiles
Used cars are vehicles that have had previous owners, sold at lower prices than new ones.
The term often appears in contexts suggesting aggressive salesmanship or questionable quality: a used car salesman implies someone pushy or untrustworthy.
I bought a used car to save money.
Also called secondhand or pre-owned, the latter a euphemism favored by dealers.
