I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm pretty sure my next car will be ~~used~~.
[edit] sorry, I mean "Pre-owned". Don't flame me.
What's wrong with "used car" as a term?
To me its the only good term.
If it's a sale by owner gets me hard.
Nothing beats finding a nice looking truck or car on the side of the road and finding the right person at the right time.
Anything past 2013 is not worth the time.
It's considered newist.
used is fine, dunno why you changed it?
I think one guy has a Volkswagen Jetta he can sell you.
