Are people deceived by the term "pre-owned"?

People in this thread are deceived by the term "pre-owned." They assume that it means that it has a higher warranty protection than something that is simply "used."

They think the classifications are "new," "used," and "pre-owned" rather than "new," "pre-owned," and "certified pre-owned" (which is a special warranty type.) So when they see "pre-owned" they think it is short for "certified pre-owned" which means that they're pricing in a warranty that they are not getting.
