I've seen "like new" on 10 year old cars, sorry a 10 year old car isn't going to be "like new" unless it has NEVER been driven or titled.

I've seen "low miles" on a car with 80,000 miles, yeah maybe an 8-10 year old car with only 80k on the clock is comparatively "low miles" to the average 8-10 year old car with north of 100K, but 80k isn't "low miles" by any means. At 80k you are at the point of needing new shocks, brakes, flushing of all major fluids (power steering, transmission, rear end, etc.) probably new tires, the seat material is going to be worn regardless of how well it was taken care of.


To put something like "like new, show room condition, low miles" on a USED vehicle is simply marketing to draw in the tire kickers and get them into something.

CPO or not, used is used, by definition it means someone else owned and operated the vehicle and it will have wear on it as a result.

Yeah $40k is a lot for a used car, and if looking for perfection in that price range there are literally dozens of makes and models you can by new for $40K or less that would meet the criteria of "perfect"
used is used, it is not new regardless of whatever fancy words are in the ad.
