Too Afraid to Ask

A 'new car' is one that has never been owned by anyone else and is usually sold directly from a dealership. Sometimes, cars that were used as rentals or loaners are sold as new, which can be misleading.

Technical Definition

A 'new car' typically refers to a vehicle that has not been previously owned or registered, often sold directly from a dealership. However, some vehicles, like loaners or demos, may have been used but still sold as new, which can lead to confusion about their status.
