A used car, also known as a pre-owned vehicle and second hand car, is a vehicle that has previously had one or more owners. Used cars are sold through franchise and independent dealers, rental car companies, leasing companies, auctions and private party sales.

Used Car Sales are As-is sales

Almost every used car sale is an "as-is" sale. What you see is what you get so a used car buyer should do all their research before buying a vehicle. Some countries or states/provinces within those countries have specific laws which grant the used car buyer some additional protection. For example, the law may provide for a cooling off period in which the buyer may return the car or the law may require warranties on the used car.

  • Canada
    • Ontario - New and used vehicle sales are regulated by the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC).
  • European Union - Used cars have a statutory warranty according to the system of laws of the European Union, the so-called "Liability for defects", which lasts for 12 months.
  • United States - The Federal Trade Commission's Used Car Rule requires dealers to post a Buyers Guide in every used car they offer for sale.

What is the cheapest, most reliable used car to run into the ground?
Q. I am looking to buy a cheap, reliable used car that I can basically drive for 10 years with as few problems as possible, safety or maintenance-wise. I don't care about resale value since I intend to run the car into the ground. In fact, a high resale value might make the car too expensive to purchase as a used car. What would you reccomend?

A. Pretty much anything japanese, like others are saying the Honda Civic is pretty good - I knew someone who had one and they got it 10 years old and carried on using it for another 10 years. In the end they drove it to a scrap yard, it drove fine but it was begining to rust in places.

How do I sell a used car with a purchased warranty?
Q. I bought a used car last year, and I purchased a 3 year warranty. Now I am looking to sell the car due to financial difficulties. How does this work. Can I get money back on the warranty or do I just have to hope a buyer wants the warranty as part of the deal?

A. Typically, you can cancel an extended warranty, however they are pro-rated so you will only receive a fraction of what you paid for it. As far as transferring it to the buyer, you would have to check with the company to see if your warranty is transferable. Good luck.
