Default language question

i was looking through the yahoo auction site for interesting s2000 stuff ---

(any other japan auction sites i should check out?)

and i keep getting a google translation of "中古" as "medieval times"----

what the.....



so, what does "EXマニフォールド(4-2-1 SUS)中古、美品です!" mean ---

obviously not "the EX manifold (4-2-1 the SUS) medieval times, it is the beauty item!"




中古 --- i just can't figure it out --- something about older something --- original maybe?

anyway, dumn question --- but confounding
