Too Afraid to Ask

A used car is one that someone else has already driven. It’s usually cheaper than a brand‑new car, but you should check its condition and history before buying.

Technical Definition

A used car is a vehicle that has been previously owned and driven by someone else. Buying used can offer lower prices but may involve more wear, potential hidden issues, and varying warranties.
