A Pre-Owned vehicle, also known as a used car, is a vehicle that has previously had one or more owners.

A Pre-Owned vehicle, also known as a used car, is a vehicle that has previously had one or more owners. Used cars are lower in price than new cars, and are often a good way to find an affordable and reliable vehicle for a lower price than a new vehicle. But there is also the stigma of the used car lot and used car salesman— where customers worry they may be conned into buying a vehicle in poor condition for a premium price.
In recent years, as more and more car manufacturers offer “Pre-Owned” and “Certified Pre-Owned” vehicles, it has become much easier for consumers to find a good quality, reliable used vehicles. No-haggle used car “superstores,” like CarMax, are springing up across the United States, creating easily accessible stores and websites where consumers can pick from thousands of used vehicles, sell their old vehicles, have service work performed, and buy extended service polices (warranties) for their “new” used vehicles, all in one place.
