Bullshit.
That's a sleazy obfuscation by one of the most vile kinds of human - the used car salesman.
These warts on the asshole of humanity would like to convince you that the derelict hunk of crap they took in on trade is something you want. Probably not.
Face it - it's a PREVIOUSLY owned vehicle. The prefix "pre" denotes a state of newness - or a thing or event that is yet to come. Pre-owned means nobody has owned it yet. It's new.
So when they try to peddle you that "pre-owned" Ford Granada - tell them you're "pre-screwed" and they can go "pre-fuck" themselves.
Have you an example of this sort of linguistic larceny that annoys you?
Car repair shops also do the same thing "Full automobile revision, with lubricant change starting at 59,99 euros". Firstly its for mineral oil. Most cars these days use synthetic or semi synthetic. Secondly, they just plug the car to the computer and tell you about the alarms that went off last year, trying to repair stuff that usually are bad sensor readings.
Also why those prices ending in .99? Its 60 euros!
I'll do you one better: In the USA, gasoline is sold by some amount of dollars and cents...plus nine-tenths of a cent, per gallon. Nine-tenths of a cent? What. The. Fuck?
Disappointing theists since 1968!
