Colorado Car Sales Practice Test

Which of the following qualifies as a "used motor vehicle"?

1. A car driven for less than 1,500 miles

2. A vehicle that has never been owned

3. A car previously leased as a company vehicle

4. A motor vehicle manufactured after 1942

The correct answer is: A car previously leased as a company vehicle

A "used motor vehicle" is typically defined as any vehicle that has been previously owned or used, which distinguishes it from new vehicles that have not been sold or driven by anyone other than the dealer. In this context, a car that has been previously leased as a company vehicle fits this definition as it has been owned and used by a company, even though it may not have been sold in the traditional sense. Leasing signifies that the vehicle has left the original dealer and entered a phase of ownership, albeit temporary, under the lease terms. The first option refers to a car driven for less than 1,500 miles; however, if it has never been sold or owned, it would still be considered a new vehicle rather than used. The second option indicates a vehicle that has never been owned, which classifies it as new regardless of its usage. The last option mentions a motor vehicle manufactured after 1942; this detail does not inherently determine whether the vehicle is used or new, as both new and used vehicles can be manufactured in that time frame. Thus, the selection that indicates a car previously leased as a company vehicle accurately identifies a used motor vehicle based on its previous ownership.
