    Question Can you still buy used cars where you live?

    All they seem to sell around here lately are "new" or "pre-owned" vehicles.

    Its just another way to make the dumb think there getting a better deal. Preowned is just a better more sophisticated way of saying used.

    pre-owned is the same as used.... but at some stealerships around here "pre-owned" would mean its certified and inspected and whatnot.

    pre-owned is from a fancy dealership. Used cars is buy here-pay here.

    Remember the old movie Used Cars? Funny flick.

    There's a big Dodge dealership here that sells "brand new" and "brand used" cars They say "why buy a brand new car when you can buy a brand spanking used car...." I hate that fucking place. I was looking at a 2001 Jeep Wrangler with 65k, lift, 35" tires, offroad lights etc. and they wanted $22,000!!!

    Around here theres a gazillion used cars for sale. Pre owned is just a way that the stealerships can charge more for used cars.

    It's either that or political correctness spilling over into other arenas. Next local grocers will be trying to sell rotten fruit as "pre-ripened".
