Question

Which figure of speech is used in this text?
All the cars at Gruber's Auto Dealership are certified pre-owned. Although they all seem to be in good condition, I think I'd prefer to buy a new car.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

The phrase "certified pre-owned" is a euphemism — a mild or more polite term used instead of the blunt word "used." (The overall passage also has a touch of irony: despite the cars' good condition, the speaker still prefers a new car.)
